With a B.S. degree in applied physics, graduates receive the essential academic preparation needed for access to competitive graduate school programs.
They are also qualified for careers in industry and government, with an emphasis on engineering physics, medical biophysics or quantitative finance, depending on the individual classes on the student’s transcript. Potential employers of those with a physics degree include institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations, research centers, hospitals, the environmental industry, the electronic industry, public and private K-12 school systems, government entities, and more.
In addition, this degree prepares students for a master’s degree at the graduate level.
