SUMMARY
Universities in America generally do not decline physics majors seeking an MS in Electrical Engineering (EE). While some institutions may require these candidates to complete senior-level undergraduate EE courses, many are open to accepting physics graduates into their graduate programs. This trend indicates a growing acceptance of interdisciplinary backgrounds in engineering fields, particularly for those with a strong foundation in physics.
