What can I do with BS Applied Physics?

Graduates in applied physics will be well prepared for careers in the following fields:

• Chemical and environmental industries.
• Computer and electronics engineering.
• Computer science.
• Energy and nanotechnology.
• Graduate school.
• Medical physics.
• Physics research (in acaedmic, national or industrial laboratories)

Can I go to grad school with a BA in physics?

No, but it is awfully hard to get the same classes, with the same rigor, in 4 years with another major. Having said that, a very good friend of mine was a computer science major who had taken quite a few physics classes (basically, everything but senior year), and was accepted into my graduate program.

Is a BS better than a BA in physics?

Differences between BS and BA degrees: The BS degree in physics is the foundation degree for students interested in pursuing further study of physics or a closely related field in graduate school. Students obtaining the BA degree generally use physics as a background for study in other fields.

What is the difference between a BA and a BS in physics?

What Is the Difference Between a Physics BA vs BS? The main difference between a Physics BA vs. BS is the Bachelor of Science in Physics is a Science track while the Bachelor of Arts in Physics is a Humanities track.

Is Applied Physics A good major?

Applied Physics is a great major. It will be excellent preparation for graduate school. This could be work towards an advanced degree in engineering, applied physics (of course) or physics.
