Bachelor of Science in Physics - Advanced Track

University of Alabama Birmingham - INTO USA

The Advanced Track prepares students for graduate studies in physics or related fields, such as engineering. The curriculum includes a sequence of conceptually challenging courses that build on the basics of core themes.The courses studied in this track help students develop quantitative and analytic problem-solving skills that enable them to adapt to the changing career landscape and find employment in new and emerging fields. Available electives range from theoretical topics such as differential geometry and tensor calculus to those with more experimental applications like spectroscopy and laser technologies.Departmental research opportunities train advanced physics students to target problems that blur the boundaries between physics and engineering, photonics, biomedicine, and materials sciences. This experience goes beyond the classroom to prepare them for a physics research career in todays interdisciplinary research environment.
