Mathematics explores abstract concepts, logical structures, and numerical analysis. Given its widespread relevance across scientific and engineering disciplines, mathematicians must consider how their research influences other academic domains. Breakthroughs in physics—particularly in electromagnetism and thermodynamics—frequently have profound mathematical implications.
The School of Engineering's BS in Applied Physics and Mathematics program creates a vital connection between these two fields. This dual-degree option enables students to establish expertise in both significant areas. Beyond mastering core physics and math principles, participants engage in specialized coursework that surpasses what a minor in either subject could offer.
Practical application remains crucial, which is why the program facilitates internships with leading financial, insurance, and tech companies throughout New York.
Students proficient in both mathematics and physics unlock varied career possibilities. Alumni can pursue rewarding opportunities in chemistry, biology, medical research, and various engineering specialties. Their qualifications also prepare them for roles in software development, economic analysis, aerospace technology, legal professions, and corporate environments.
