Individualize Your Course of Study
When you study physics, you have the option to add a concentration in energy production or computational neuroscience.
Concentration in Energy Production
With this concentration, you'll add courses from chemistry and possibly geology to suppliment your studies.
It's important to prepare for jobs of the future.
New energy jobs are being developed and added daily. By graduation, you may be applying for jobs working with technologies that haven't even been invented yet. You'll develop the technical skills you need, but you'll also gain a foundation in interdisciplinary problem-solving and critical thinking.
Concentration in Computational Neuroscience
Add computer science, biology, math and psychology courses to your program of study.
Study the brain and all of its many functions through computer modeling and mathematical analysis. If you love data, research, patterns and the biological functions of the brain, the concentration is for you!
