Physics (B.S.)/Computer Science (M.S.)

Illinois Institute of Technology

Combining a strong physics background with advanced computer science skills builds strong computational physicists who can build models for experiments. The physics program at Illinois Tech has a rigorous interdisciplinary nature to the program, providing a greater understanding of how physics is interrelated with biology and chemistry. Be prepared for immediate entry into positions in industrial, medical, and other research laboratories and for graduate study in biophysics, solid state physics, or high-energy physics. And then stay an extra year on campus to earn a Master of Science in Computer Science degree. Combined with the interdisciplinary physics program, advanced computer skills will provide a strong competitive edge when entering the natural science job market. Or prepare for a doctorate program. Combined with the interdisciplinary physics program, advanced computer skills will provide you a strong competitive edge when entering the natural science job market. Simultaneously earn a bachelor's and master's degree in as few as five years in this accelerated master's degree program.
