Major in Physics, Applied Physics Concentration
The Applied Physics concentration combines fundamental course work in physics with a selection of courses in a related field. Eight fields are available:
Department of Physics
http://catalog.colostate.edu/general-catalog/colleges/natural-sciences/physics/
Future or incoming students: Please contact the Office of Admissions to declare a Major in Physics. Incoming students specifically, please contact Prof. Martin Gelfand ( martin.gelfand@colostate.edu ) immediately after declaring Physics to make sure you receive appropriate advising before the start of the semester. Please feel free to contact Prof. Gelfand if you have questions about Physics before declaring the major as well. Current on-campus CSU students: To learn more about Physics and decide if you are interested in declaring, please contact Prof. Martin Gelfand ( martin.gelfand@colostate.edu ) to arrange a meeting. In order to complete the program as rapidly as possible, students who are considering Physics should make progress every semester in Mathematics, completing Precalculus as soon as possible, and then taking MATH 160 , followed either by MATH 161 , MATH 261 , and MATH 340 or MATH 271 and MATH 272 . The latter sequence has limited availability, so the former is more common. PH 141 should be taken either concurrently with or immediately following MATH 160 . Please contact Prof. Gelfand for advice on this matter. Another course it is helpful to take early is CS 150B .

Major in Physics, Physics Concentration
The Physics concentration provides a broad background in physics that serves as a base for later specialization, either in graduate school or on the job. It is designed for those seeking greater insight into physics and an introduction to more advanced topics and methods. Students who obtain a degree in Physics with the Physics concentration are prepared for a career in industry or government, or for advanced study at the graduate level.
Major in Physics
http://catalog.colostate.edu/general-catalog/colleges/natural-sciences/physics/physics-major/
Physics is the study of motion, matter, and energy. It is the most fundamental of sciences, and provides the essential underpinning of chemistry, biology, astronomy, and geology. Physicists probe the structure of atomic nuclei, study exotic states of matter that occur at ultra-low temperatures, and develop theories that predict the origin and destiny of the universe. Physics has practical applications to a wide variety of tasks such as fabricating very large scale integrated circuits, producing high efficiency solar cells, and developing nanomachines, high-power lasers, and scanners for imaging activity within the human brain. Fundamental research in physics has led to many important inventions, including the transistor, the computer, the internet, the flat panel display, and the cell phone.
Minor in Physics
http://catalog.colostate.edu/general-catalog/colleges/natural-sciences/physics/physics-minor/
Most technical fields require some background in physics. A minor in Physics can provide students with an increased understanding of the foundations of their chosen major. For students majoring in Computer Science and Mathematics, a minor in Physics can offer experience in applying the skills acquired in their major to concrete physical problems.

Major in Natural Sciences, Physical Science Concentration
The Physical Science concentration begins with two semesters each of calculus, chemistry, and physics, plus a semester of biological science. Students then complete the major by earning two minors selected from Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Mathematics, Statistics, or Physics. Completion of the double minor gives an unusual breadth in the physical sciences. Recent graduates have pursued careers in the sciences. Others use this background as a basis for graduate work and research or for entry into medical or veterinary professional programs.
