Overview
Because of the interdisciplinary nature of Applied Physics, the Department at Stanford University welcomes applications both from individuals who majored in physics and from those who have a strong interest in physics but may have majored in related disciplines, e.g., electrical, mechanical or chemical engineering, materials science, biophysics, chemistry, or mathematics.
Key Features
- However, in some cases, these students may find it necessary to spend additional time taking courses at Stanford to acquire the background to meet the requirements for advanced degrees in Applied Physics.
- A similar situation pertains to physics undergraduates who have been out of school for a substantial period of time.
