About the course

The Applied Physics BS curriculum allows students to concentrate their studies in a particular concentration area of special interest to them, while obtaining a broad and solid foundation in physics. It is a popular choice for students seeking employment directly after graduation. The concentration is determined after consultation with one?s academic advisor, and appears explicitly on the student?s diploma. Students are challenged to study science beginning with the fundamental aspects, proceeding on to subjects with modern applications.

　　Our undergraduate program welcomes first year students to the department in a semester course called ?Passion for Physics?. In this course students are introduced to research opportunities by Physics Faculty. In the junior year, our undergraduate program features a culminating experience project, which allows students to gain research experience in an area of interest. These experiences allow students to prepare for careers in academia or industry. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
