Sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much for that advice. As for me right now, I am only in my second year. But, how my degree was planned out (tried to get a bunch of GenEd out of the way so I can focus on what I love), along with taking college algebra and precalc to catch up, I haven't...

I see, thank you very much. For whatever reason, I never even thought of that...

Anyone?

Undergraduate "handicap and/or impossible to get ahead" predicament. Need help :( Good evening all, I know I have recently posted several graduate questions recently as I was trying to think out/plan ahead. In doing so, I did some reading and research, particularly on this physics gre...

I am sorry if this question is stupid, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer. Say a person were to have a PhD in Physics, and another in Applied Physics. What is the difference in what they research? Can an Applied Physicist do the same type of original Physics research (even if on his...

Good afternoon everyone. I have done a little forum searching, and have not been able to find an answer to my question. I am currently pursuing my B.S. in Physics and am trying to plan out my future a little bit more. I truly love Physics, it is my passion, but I have also come to really love...

Thank you all very much for the insight. I'm quite happy that not only was my question answered, but sparked a very interesting conversation.

Ah, I see. Thank you very much for clearing up that tiny, but important detail.

I am sorry if this is a weird or stupid question, as I am currently in college and majoring in physics, but have not taken any physics classes yet. The weird thing I was thinking about was the impossibility of perpetual motion. Are not atoms a form of perpetual motion? What about solar systems...

A representative wrote back to me and said this: "I am afraid I am unable to answer your questions. We do not keep statistics of the kind you are requesting. Our students create individualized degrees, so the number of students whose degrees would read "Science, Mathematics and Technology...

From what I understand, it is guided independent study, along with some sit down classes. This is done in order to cater to the busy life style of adults. I like this alot, especially with the current economy. I do know that probably going to a regular traditional college would be beneficial...

I have to admit I too found their website kind of confusing in finding some specific information. This is the page they have on Physics: http://www.esc.edu/ESConline/Across_ESC/academics.nsf/wholeshortlinks2/Physics+Concentration?opendocument I would sit down with a "mentor" and map out a...

Oh wow, I had no idea about that. That is definitely something to keep in mind. From what I see, the program is pretty much the same as a normal physics degree. Also it seems all the degrees at this school would be considered a "concentration" degree. It would just seem hard to believe in this...

A "concentration" degree vs a "regular" degree Good afternoon everyone. I'm new here and it's great to be here. I have a very large interest in Physics and plan on getting a degree in said field. I do have one big question; Is there a big difference between having a BS in Physics and a BS in...
