The physics program
prepares students for employment, often in industrial or governmental
laboratories, or for further study at graduate or professional schools
in physics, engineering, biophysics, medicine, education, law, or
business. The program integrates a broad foundation in physics that can be flexibly combined with coursework in other technical disciplines or used to specialize in physics. Students should consult a physics adviser to help formulate objectives for study. |
