BSc in Physics (Honors) in Irvine United States | University of California Irvine

The undergraduate Physics and Applied Physics programs aim to cultivate skilled problem solvers with comprehensive knowledge of physical concepts. These adaptable curricula equip students for diverse career paths including industrial research, software development, teaching, legal professions, or business, while also providing strong foundations for advanced studies in astronomy, biomedical physics, engineering, or physics. Students can select between two primary tracks: pure Physics or Applied Physics. The Physics major offers multiple pathways - a standard graduate preparation track, an Astrophysics Specialization, and focused concentrations in Computational Physics, Philosophy of Physics, and Physics Education. The Applied Physics major enables students to blend physics coursework with complementary disciplines like materials science, electrical engineering, earth sciences, medical imaging, or other relevant fields. Regular required consultations with academic advisors help learners identify the optimal program alignment with their skills and aspirations. Qualified Physics and Applied Physics majors may participate in the Department's Honors Program, engaging in advanced research within specialized areas of study.
