Programs Aerospace and Physics Double/Dual Major

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on pursuing a dual interest in Aerospace Engineering (ASE) and Theoretical Physics at Mississippi State University (MSU), where Engineering Physics is not offered. The individual has a strong academic background with 33 dual enrollment hours and aims to fly in the Navy. There are concerns about the feasibility of balancing both fields, as theoretical physics may require significant time dedicated to subjects that may not directly relate to aerospace engineering. The consensus suggests that focusing on aerospace engineering during undergraduate studies and potentially exploring theoretical physics at the graduate level could be a more practical approach.

So, I am getting close to college (going to Mississippi State), and I know I want to do ASE and Physics (pref. Theoretical). MSU doesn't offer Engineering Physics or I would do that, but on the bright side I worked my ass offin high school, and I am transferring with 33 dual enrollment hours. My intention is to go fly in the Navy, but before that I am interested in either the research or applied side. Comments on feasibility?

If your real interest is Aero engineering, I think that theoretical physics may have you spending a lot of time and effort on other subjects.
 
I am heavily interested in both, and I am going Astro, but I haven't declared it yet. Also, I would probably not do any theoretical until Grad School and maybe not then.
 

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
