The Individual Option Track is a course of studies chosen specifically to match the interest and career plans of the student. This option will allow custom designed interdisciplinary majors such as biophysics, geophysics, and chemical physics, as well as majors designed for prospective secondary school teachers, technical writers, and entrepreneurs. The minimum departmental requirement for the B.S. degree in physics is completion of 37 credit hours of physics courses as specified for the program track selected by the student. Each student majoring in physics will also complete a set of core courses in physics, mathematics and chemistry. Keep in mind, however, that some fields will require graduate study or further schooling of some kind.
Many more occupations exist and are worth investigating.
The science of physics is concerned with structure in matter, patterns of motion, transformations of energy, and the general principles that govern all of those. Tell me more about specializations in this field. Applied physics has been described in the previous item. Most physicists are employed by educational institutions, industrial firms, government laboratories, or federally-funded research and development centers. Basic research has as its goal the understanding of physical phenomena without a specific application in mind.
