Introduction
The Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics involves applications of optics, acoustics, and materials in fields such as nanotechnology, telecommunications, medical physics and devices, or advanced and electronic materials. The Applied Physics degree is a flexible degree designed to interface physics with applied sciences and engineering disciplines.
Physics is concerned with the study of energy, space, time, matter, the interaction between material objects, and the laws that govern these interactions at various scales from sub-nano-scale to light-years scale. Physicists study mechanics, sound, heat, light, electric and magnetic fields, gravitation, relativity, atomic and nuclear physics, solid-state physics, wave-like properties of particles, and particle-like properties of radiation.
The curriculum in Applied Physics provides a solid education in mathematics, applied sciences, and physics with emphasis on the four areas of Applied Optics, Acoustics, Materials Science and nanotechnology, and Medical Physics.
