Applied physics is the study of the basic laws of nature and their application to modern technologies. The B.S. in Applied Physics program is designed to give students a broad background in physics while at the same time relating this background to applications used in technology-based industries including optical science and photonics, biophysics, astronomy/astrophysics, and microelectronics (using NJIT's clean room facility). The curriculum is structured around three different concentrations (Optical Science and Engineering, Astronomy and Astrophysics, Biophysics). However, there is flexibility in the curriculum to allow students to pursue a broad exposure to several major areas of physics. For students that are potentially interested in attending Medical School, the Biophysics concentration is suggested. For students who are interested in physics, as well as, computer science, a Dual Major in Applied Physics and Computer Science (B.S. program) is offered. Students who have a strong interest in Math may also consider the Dual Major in Applied Physics and Mathematics. As an Applied Physics major, students may also participate in an Accelerated Pre-Medical/Pre-Dental/Pre/Law program through NJIT's Honors College. Students who are interested in a teaching career have the option of earning a Teaching Certificate in conjunction with their undergraduate degree. The B.S. in Applied Physics is a joint degree program offered by NJIT and Rutgers-Newark. The curriculum, as described below, is for students entering NJIT as freshmen in the fall of 2008 or after that date. Students entering before that date may have a different program and should consult the department to learn which curriculum applies.
