The applied physics curriculum offers students the skills, experience, and preparation necessary for several career options, including opportunities to minor in economics and to take business-related courses. In recent years, applied physics graduates have entered graduate programs in many areas of applied physics or physics, enrolled in medical school, or been employed in various technical or financial areas immediately after receiving the B.S. degree.
To learn more about the program, please see the Columbia Engineering Bulletin: Undergraduate Program in Applied Physics.
All undergraduate students apply to Columbia Engineering through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
There are multiple on-campus and off-campus research opportunities for undergraduate students.
