Physics majors - what are you doing in your junior, senior year of college?

<p>This question goes out to all current B.A.'s in physics.</p>

<p>Also, what are your plans for the future? </p>

<p>I am wondering because I love physics and I am thinking very hard about this major!!!</p>

<p>The OQ is quite broad. What is it exactly that you want to know about junior or senior year? Classes? Research? </p>

<p>As for future goals: graduate school and then a post-doctoral fellowship.</p>

<p>Yes, I would like to know examples of the kind of research you might be doing and what kind of courses you are taking, as a junior or senior.</p>

<p>Well, that is really variable depending on your school. For example, my school has a cutting edge physics department and is generally a major research school. Some schools don’t offer as much variety in classes and research opportunity. Personally, I’ll be doing condensed matter research. Here’s a list of the classes offered at my school to a junior:
Classical Mechanics
Quantum Mechanics I
Electromagnetic Theory
Practical Physics II
Introduction to Biological Physics
Nuclear and Particle Physics
Atoms, Molecules and Solids
Introductory Optics
Physics of Climate
Physics of the Earth
Research project supervised by a professor. </p>

<p>What discipline of physics interests you the most at the moment?</p>
