Overview
Physics is a lot like chocolate—it goes with everything. That may be one reason so many of MTSU's 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.
There's almost no field of endeavor that doesn't have some part of it touched by physics. Not surprisingly, a B.S. in Physics can be that first step to any number of diverse careers! Examples include- Acoustics researcher
- Architect
- Astrophysicist
- Doctor
- Engineer
- High school physics teacher
- Medical physicist
- Naval mine warfare analyst
- Patent attorney
- Pilot
- Software developer
- Spacecraft designer
- Radio Frequency (RF) specialist
- Video game developer
