About This Programme

The Applied Physics Concentration of the Bachelor of Science in Physics is offered through the College of Basic and Applied Science at MTSU. Physics is a lot like chocolate—it goes with everything. That may be one reason so many of MTSU's physics majors started out in pursuit of a different degree (in recording industry, pre-medicine, music, etc.) only to discover that it was the physics of it all that fascinated them. Physics may take them on a different road back to their original interest—a career as a medical physicist, for example. The Applied Physics concentration is designed for students interested in fields not traditionally associated with a physics degree, but that value the critical thinking and problem-solving skills associated with a physics major. Physics majors may pick from one of four different concentrations. The core curriculum gets all Physics and Astronomy majors on a level playing field and sets you up to pursue any concentration.

Career Path

There's almost no field of endeavor that doesn't have some part of it touched by physics. Not surprisingly, a B.S. in Physics can be that first step to any number of diverse careers! Examples include Acoustics researcher, Architect , Astronomer , Astrophysicist , Design engineer , Doctor , High school physics teacher , Laser engineer , Medical physicist , Naval mine warfare analyst .
