COURSE CURRICULUM

Concentrations within the physics major allow students to tailor their studies toward specific interests and career goals while gaining deeper knowledge and practical experience in selected areas. By choosing a concentration, students can build specialized skills, connect with mentors, and pursue internships or research opportunities that enhance their preparation for careers or advanced study.The Applied Physics concentration combines core physics coursework with classes in related disciplines such as optics, computer science, chemistry, or medical physics. This pathway is designed for students who want to apply physics principles to real-world problems and work in interdisciplinary fields. It provides practical skills and knowledge that are valuable in industries like technology, healthcare, engineering, and research.The General Physics concentration offers a broad and comprehensive foundation in physics, covering essential concepts across the field. This option is ideal for students who want flexibility in their academic and career paths, whether they plan to pursue graduate studies, enter the education sector, or work in various scientific and technical industries.Overall, both concentrations equip students with strong analytical, computational, and problem-solving abilities. Whether focusing on applied, interdisciplinary work or maintaining a broad foundation, students graduate well-prepared for diverse opportunities in science, technology, and research.
