Applied Physics at the University of Iowa

Charles Newsom, Program Director

• wish to significantly enhance their degree by adding applied physics as a second major,
• intend to go directly into a laboratory or industry upon graduation,
• continue on to a physics graduate degree or
• go to medical school upon graduation.

For those who wish to pursue a degree in other areas of applied physics, a program which can be tailored to your specific needs is also available. The curriculum is a blend of a traditional bachelor's degree program in physics, and professional training in a technologically-relevant field.

In addition to the course work requirements each student is asked to complete an internship. This is typically done during the summer (full time) or during one or more semesters. The student usually works in industry or in a research laboratory on campus. For further details please see the AP Internship Requirements document.
