    Admissions Self-study & prep for theoretical physics PhD without a physics major

    Yeah that makes sense. Plus it would help a lot to have the resources such a university could provide. Trying to do one online might not be realistic given the number of classes I'm taking at my current school too. This is part of what is making me lean heavily towards transferring. While it's...

    Admissions Self-study & prep for theoretical physics PhD without a physics major

    Thanks for the reply! Absolutely. 95 credits for engineering (major), 44 for math (major), 20 for chemistry (minor), and 26 for CS (minor). Now there is a decent bit of overlap between math and engineering (about 24 credits). The engineering covers the base engineering classes (physics I & II...

    Admissions Self-study & prep for theoretical physics PhD without a physics major

    True. Though I have had the physics I and II course for engineers (I'm not sure how similar this is) - and studied beyond what was taught in class. Yeah this is a good point, and I'm currently doing research on this. I'm currently leaning towards QFT, AMO, or Mathematical. Will do. Thank you...

    Admissions Self-study & prep for theoretical physics PhD without a physics major

    Thank you for replying! I see. It does make sense to get a physics degree, especially for the discipline I am looking at. Do you think I would be able to get a physics degree online (one that is competitive) or would transferring be better. Also, what if I had the core physics classes on my...

    Admissions Self-study & prep for theoretical physics PhD without a physics major

    Thank you for the reply! Okay thanks for the advice. Are there any qualities I should look for in a program for this path, or just a good program and take upper level math and physics? Also, as I would at least finish my math major and chem minor (which could be complete by this coming spring)...

    Admissions Self-study & prep for theoretical physics PhD without a physics major

    Hello everyone! I was hoping for some academic advice on future steps. About a year ago, after taking statics (for engineering), it dawned on me that I wanted to pursue physics – I found that the questions I was interested in (why and how things are) were quite different than those asked in...

    Much appreciated! I find QM very interesting and want to study it in depth at some point (hopefully soon). I’ve only had an intro course and some self study. I mainly paused to master the fundamentals first. You tend to focus on its foundations? Do you have a favorite part? Thanks Isaiah

    Hello everyone! I'm a college student with a passion for math, physics, philosophy, etc. I wanted to get more involved with the general physics community to meet others with common interest and to continue learning. Thank you!
