B.S. Applied Physics
应用物理专业为学生提供了一个灵活的平台，让他们将对物理概念和分析工具的浓厚兴趣与这些工具在社会问题上的任何一种不同应用相结合. 咨询我们的本科项目主任, 学生将定制一个跨学科的学习计划，专注于主题领域，如量子计算, materials science, energy and the environment, biophysics, mathematical physics, financial modeling, and more. 课程将在一个物理教员的电子游戏正规平台项目中达到高潮, 或由多系教师共同指导. 本课程推荐给计划毕业后进入职场的学生，而不是申请物理或相关学科的电子游戏正规平台生院.
