Unlike programs based in a single department, Applied Physics students can take advantage of the scholarships, learning opportunities, and other resources offered by both the McCormick School of Engineering, the Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, and nearby Argonne National Laboratory and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.
The program prepares graduates for professional careers in science and technology, either in academics or in industry, and seeks to ensure that our graduates recognize and take advantage of scientific and technological opportunities wherever they may arise.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- Chemical & Statistical Thermodynamics of Materials
- Statistical Mechanics
- Quantum Mechanics
- Methods of Theoretical Physics
- Responsible Conduct for Research Training
