The major in Applied Physics serves to develop expert problem solvers with a broad understanding of laboratory techniques. The program is flexible and prepares students for careers in industrial research, engineering, as well as for graduate study in engineering, medicine, physics or the biomedical fields. Annual mandatory meetings with faculty advisors assist students in selecting a program that matches their aptitudes and interests. In addition to the core Physics courses, students complete either a standard track or one of the concentrations (in Engineering Physics, or Astrophysics).
