I am majoring in Physics with an Applied Concentration at my school. This essentially is dependent on the electives that I take in my Physics major. I am hoping the Applied concentration will help me get engineering jobs in the future. “Physics with an Applied Concentration” is kindof a mouth-full, it may require an explanation, and takes up a lot of space on job applications. I am wondering if strictly speaking one can say
0: “I have a degree in/studied Applied Physics”
1: “I am majoring in Applied Physics”
A: Is this misleading, dishonest, or “unofficial” in any way?
B: Would an employer ever feel mislead?
Unfortunately my school doesn’t have it and I am too far into my degree to get an engineering bachelors right now. I am thinking about a masters though. Interested mostly in propulsion research though.
