Physics

Description

A physics degree opens up a rich diversity of options to the graduating student. Approximately one-half of physics graduates go on to graduate school. Those not going on to graduate school enter employment in physics or such related fields as electronics, computers, or engineering, or as teachers. Reflecting the diversity of the major, there are two tracks open to physics undergraduates.

The first option is the traditional one and is intended for those who are interested in experimental and theoretical physics as well as computational physics, and those who will be going on to graduate school. The second option emphasizes the application of computers to physics. A combination of skills in both physics and computer science is a valuable training for industrial employment.
Options:

• Traditional Physics
• Computational Physics

Course Content

A physics curriculum provides the knowledge of fundamental science needed for a deep understanding of these ideas. A degree in physics opens a rich diversity of options to the graduating student. Approximately one-half of physics graduates go on to graduate school. Those not attending a graduate program enter employment in physics or such related fields as electronics, computers, engineering, and teaching.
Rutgers-Camden’s Department of Physics offers a flexible degree program to its majors. Students will be prepared for both graduate study and industrial employment. In the classroom, they will receive well-rounded exposure to classical and modern physics. For practical training, the department is equipped with advanced materials characterization equipment, lasers, optics, and vacuum equipment. Students with an interest in Computational Biophysics can access high performance computing facilities under the supervision of faculty.
