Applied Physics is devoted to studying and understanding the fundamental principles of nature. Considered the most fundamental science, it deals with the constituents, properties, and evolution of the entire universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies. At the School of Engineering, our BS in Applied Physics students study physics while working directly alongside engineers. That relationship provides lasting value, as graduates gain the flexibility to pursue diverse career opportunities. Students are encouraged to explore interests in areas such as entrepreneurship, biophysics, biomedical instrumentation, integrated circuit electronics, scanning probe metrology, and computational science. Notably, these explorations can also lead to a dual degree, particularly in subjects such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemistry. With a strong foundation in physics, many of our students go on to pursue advanced studies at the masterβs level. Many of our graduates seek positions within and beyond the sciences, in fields that include law, writing, and business. Others find a career in disciplines that rely on a solid foundation in physics, be it in industry, government, or education.
