Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Physics & Applied Physics] From UMass Lowell

The University of Massachusetts Lowell physics program is designed to introduce the student to both fundamental and applied aspects of physics leading to a wide range of career options after graduation. Some of our graduates seek employment after receiving the Baccalaureate degree, while others continue on to graduate study aiming for a research career.

The employer for a present-day physics graduate may be an educational institution, a small business, an industrial firm, a government laboratory or a non-profit research center.

Physics majors at the University of Massachusetts Lowell have the opportunity to become involved and discover first-hand what scientific research is all about.

Research projects can be undertaken both during the regular academic year, as well as during the summer months and other semester breaks.

In most cases, the student earns a stipend during the process, and benefit from working with physics faculty who are regularly engaged in a variety of research programs in subatomic physics, astrophysics, nanoscience, photonics, terahertz technology, radiological and medical physics.
