Physics Major with Applied Electronics Emphasis
This is one of the two applied
tracks within the physics major aimed at the students who plan on
pursuing a career in industry right after graduation. Students take
most of the core upper-level physics courses, with more emphasis on the
laboratory courses. Students majoring in physics with Applied Electronics Emphasis are required to participate in an industrial internship either
at a local business or in London through the
Study Abroad Program.
Please
consult with the Applied Emphasis Coordinator when planning your major.
Some physics courses are offered only in alternate years.

Four Year Plan
The following tables illustrate a typical plan to complete the major
within a four-year time frame. Students taking different paths may take
longer than the four year plan here. Please consult with an advisor when
planning your major - some physics courses are taught only in alternate
years.
