Bachelor of Science in Applied Physics

Program Overview

With a formal agreement between UC and the University of Kentucky, as an applied physics degree major, you would attend UC for three years of courses in physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer programming, and general education before transferring to the University of Kentucky to complete an approved set of engineering courses and general education courses. Completing your course work in applied physics and mathematics usually requires two or three semesters at UC, after which you’ll have earned a bachelor’s in applied physics. Coupled with the 32 hours of approved course work at University of Kentucky, that’s two degrees in about five years.

Applied physics is the application of physics to solve real-world problems, specifically as they pertain to science and engineering. It can be thought of as a bridge between the theoretical world of physics and the concrete world of engineering, focusing on the practical application of physics principles to practical devices and systems. Due to its close relation to engineering, applied physics undergraduate programs are often also known as an engineering physics degree or engineering physics major. While the specifics may vary from program to program, the overlap in concepts covered is substantial enough to be considered interchangeable in every practical sense.
