Looking for some help: interdisciplinary programs

[PRodQuanta]

I have 1 more year as an undergraduate physics major. I've been looking for programs that are really a mixture of physics and something else (say engineering of medicine, but mostly physics). I've found some really good programs. These programs are titled Applied Science and Medical Engineering and Physics. I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of some graduate schools that have programs like these that I might be interested in.

Thanks,
Paden

Medical Physics graduate programs can be quite interdisciplinary: drawing on aspects of physics, engineering, medicine, biology and chemistry.

I can understand your interest in interdisciplinary programs that combine physics with other fields. It is becoming increasingly common for universities to offer such programs, as they recognize the value of integrating different disciplines to tackle complex problems and advance scientific knowledge.

Some graduate schools that offer programs similar to the ones you mentioned include Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of California Berkeley, and Stanford University. MIT offers a PhD program in Medical Engineering and Medical Physics, which focuses on the application of physics principles to medical research and technology. UC Berkeley has a Master of Engineering program in Applied Science and Technology, which allows students to combine physics with other engineering fields such as materials science, mechanical engineering, and bioengineering. Stanford University offers a PhD program in Physics and Engineering, which allows students to specialize in areas such as biophysics, nanoscale science and engineering, and energy science and technology.

I would also recommend researching programs at other top universities in your field of interest, as many of them also offer interdisciplinary programs that combine physics with other fields. It is important to carefully consider the specific research areas and faculty expertise at each program to find the best fit for your interests and goals. I wish you all the best in your search for the perfect graduate program.
