Enrollment

Following its first accreditation in 2007, the Engineering Physics undergraduate programs experienced continuous averaged growth at a rate of ~5 students per year and the enrollment in Spring 2014 reached 46 students (see Figure 1)

Slightly more than 50% of incoming freshman in the Engineering Physics program are high-school graduates registering for the first time in college; others are transfers from junior colleges, other institutions or other majors.
