The Applied Physics Concentration of the Bachelor of Science in Physics is offered through the College of Basic and Applied Science at MTSU.Physics is a lot like chocolate it goes with everything. That may be one reason so many of MTSU physics majors started out in pursuit of a different degree (in recording industry, pre-medicine, music, etc.) only to discover that it was the physics of it all that fascinated them. Physics may take them on a different road back to their original interest a career as a medical physicist, for example.The Applied Physics concentration is designed for students interested in fields not traditionally associated with a physics degree, but that value the critical thinking and problem-solving skills associated with a physics major.
