What do biomolecular modeling, nanotube research, and the Guinness Book of World Records have in common? They’re all part of the applied physics program at Michigan Tech! Our program has a unique focus on atmospheric physics and biomolecular modeling and bioinformatics. Plus, we’re one of the few schools to offer an undergraduate minor in astrophysics and the opportunity to tailor your education according to your interests by crafting a concentration. A crazy-smart major to consider? We sure think so.
The accessibility to research at Michigan Tech gives you an edge when it comes to looking for summer positions at national labs and other universities. In addition, our students have presented at national meetings—American Geophysical Union and American Astronomical Society—and have had their research published in peer-reviewed journals such as Geophysical Research Letters and Applied Physics Letters.
