应用物理学致力于自然的研究和理解。它被认为是最基础的科学，涉及从最小的亚原子粒子到最大的星系的整个宇宙的组成，性质和演化。在工程学院，我们应用物理理学学士学位的学生在与工程师直接合作的同时学习物理学。随着毕业生学会使自己的职业适应现有机会，这种关系提供了持久的价值。鼓励您在企业家精神，生物物理学或生物医学仪器等领域探索自己的兴趣。集成电路电子学，扫描探针计量学和计算科学也是选择。最重要的是，您的探索可以将您提升到双学位，尤其是在电气工程，机械工程和化学等学科方面。凭借在物理领域的强大基础，我们的许多学生继
Applied Physics is devoted to the study and understanding of nature. Considered the most fundamental science, it deals with the constituents, properties, and evolution of the entire universe, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest galaxies.<br><br>At the School of Engineering, our BS in Applied Physics students study physics while working directly alongside engineers. That relationship provides lasting value, as graduates learn to adapt their careers to existing opportunities. Students are encouraged to explore their interests in such fields as entrepreneurship, biophysics, or biomedical instrumentation. Integrated circuit electronics, scanning probe metrology, and computational science are also options. Best of all, these explorations can propel students toward a dual degree, particularly in subjects such as electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and chemistry.<br><br>With a strong foundation in physics, many of our students go on to pursue advanced studies at the master's level. Many of our graduates seek positions within and beyond the sciences, in fields that include law, writing, and business. Others find a career in disciplines that rely on a solid foundation in physics, be it in industry, government, or education.
