Applied Physics

Welcome from the Program Director
Dr. William Warren

If you have a bachelor's degree in physics, you know that physics is a fundamental scientific discipline stitched together by a physicist's skills in mathematics, computation, instrumentation and problem solving. With this background, physicists are among the most versatile of scientists. Physicists not only follow time-honored paths into research labs and classrooms, but they also find exciting careers on Wall Street, in businesses like energy and communications, in the legal profession, and in many other non-traditional areas -- in virtually any activity where success depends on identifying and exploiting new technical knowledge. Industry leaders tell us that our dynamic, technologically-based economy needs scientifically educated generalists -- men and women with the skills of a physicist, who understand fundamental scientific principles, who have the ability to re-educate themselves in a constantly changing technical landscape, and who can effectively communicate across the lines of specialization.

The new Professional Science M.S. Program in Applied Physics is designed to meet this challenge. If you might like to lever your physics education into a "non-traditional" career, I invite you to check out our web site or email me directly to learn more about our program.
