Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - INTO

Students are challenged to study science beginning with the fundamental aspects, proceeding on to subjects with modern applications.Our undergraduate program welcomes first year students to the department in a semester course called ''Passion for Physics''. In this course students are introduced to research opportunities by Physics Faculty. In the junior year, our undergraduate program features a culminating experience project, which allows students to gain research experience in an area of interest. These experiences allow students to prepare for careers in academia or industry.
