This is one of the two applied tracks within the physics major aimed at the students who will pursue a career in industry right after graduation. You will take most of the core upper-level physics courses, especially those with a laboratory component. To major in physics with Applied Mechanics Emphasis you are required to participate in an industrial internship. This can take place either at a local business or in London through the Study Abroad Program<\/a>.

Please consult with the Applied Emphasis Coordinator when planning your major. Some physics courses are offered only in alternate years.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
