The applied physics specialization equips students for diverse scientific careers in both lab and industrial environments. Students should aim to specialize in at least one of six focus areas to fulfill degree requirements: applied nuclear physics, computational physics, materials physics, electronics and instrumentation, geophysics, or biophysics.
Physics explores nature's fundamental principles governing our universe and the interactions between energy and matter. This discipline spans all scales, from subatomic particles to cosmic evolution. Beyond pure scientific inquiry, physics cultivates a problem-solving mindset - whether investigating proton structures or applying interdisciplinary knowledge from biology, chemistry, or geology to address real-world challenges.
