B.S. in Applied Physics
Applied physics is a field for problem-solvers and innovators: people drawn to study the features and forces of the physical world and to then apply that knowledge as they research and develop technology. In Biola’s applied physics program, you’ll receive the broad scientific education needed to thrive in this growing field. By combining elements of a pure physics degree with elements of an engineering degree, the applied physics major offers a blend of big-picture theoretical concepts and specific practical applications — making it an ideal program to prepare you for graduate school and careers in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, biotechnology, business and more.
In addition to its strong curriculum, expert faculty members and biblical integration, Biola’s applied physics program offers several key advantages:
- The applied physics program gives you a solid foundation in physics, the flexibility to pursue specific areas of interest and opportunities to gain practical, marketable skills.
- Biola’s Southern California setting — a global hub for innovation and business — offers access to a wealth of jobs and internships in government and industry.
- The Lim Center, Biola’s “dream home” for scientific research and instruction, is equipped with research laboratories, cutting-edge technology and opportunities to get meaningful experience.
- Small class sizes give you an opportunity to develop close relationships with your professors, who have extensive experience in teaching, research and industry.
- Biola’s commitment to Christ-centered STEM excellence prepares you to appreciate God’s design within creation, to approach your career as a calling, and to conduct your work with a strong commitment to ethics and truth.
