Physics addresses some of the most fundamental scientific questions, from the age of the Universe to the nature of the smallest subatomic particles. Physics challenges the imagination with out-of-the-ordinary phenomena from quantum effects to relativity. The Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics is designed to produce students with understanding, with mathematical rigor, of these and many more phenomena. Graduates will complete the degree with strong problem-solving, data analysis, mathematical, laboratory, and computational skills. Advanced laboratory courses are offered in optics, electronics, and computational methods, alongside advanced theoretical courses.
Careers
The solid foundation offered by a physics degree is excellent preparation for a broad range of technical careers and fields of graduate study.
Program Learning Outcomes
Students graduating from the Applied Physics program will be able to:
1. Demonstrate understanding of the general principles of physics;
2. Demonstrate quantitative problem-solving skills;
3. Integrate the scientific method into problem-solving and experimentation;
4. Demonstrate critical thinking in the context of physics; and
5. Demonstrate understanding of physics literature such as textbooks, laboratory manuals, and publications geared toward undergraduates.
