Search Grad Programs in Physics with Non Physics Bachelors

[mezarashi]

Hi, I'm wondering if any of you have any good websites that help in the search for graduate programs. Hopefully they'll have some reviews of programs in physics. I need to search for schools that will actually accept a non Physics bachelors (i.e. Electronic Engineering). I'm particularly interested in a program in Applied Physics.

I've tried www.petersons.com but it's not very physics minded.

Thanks !

If you don't know this already (since you weren't a physics major and may not have been a member of the SPS), you should always go to the AIP website for anything related to career/educational issues on physics and related fields.

As a fellow scientist, I understand the importance of finding the right graduate program in your field of interest. There are several resources that can help you in your search for graduate programs in physics for non-physics bachelors.

Firstly, I would recommend checking out the American Physical Society's website (https://www.aps.org/programs/education/gradschools/index.cfm) which has a comprehensive list of graduate programs in physics across the United States. You can filter your search by degree type, program type, and even by specific research areas such as applied physics.

Another useful resource is the GradSchools website (https://www.gradschools.com/programs/physics) which allows you to search for graduate programs in physics based on your undergraduate degree. They also have a section for reviews and rankings of programs, which can be helpful in making your decision.

Additionally, I would suggest reaching out to individual universities and their physics departments to inquire about their admission requirements for non-physics bachelor's degrees. Many universities are open to accepting students from diverse backgrounds, and some even have specific programs for non-physics majors interested in pursuing a graduate degree in physics.

Lastly, networking and connecting with other professionals in the field can also be beneficial in your search. You can join online forums or attend conferences and events to meet and learn from other physicists who may have valuable insights and recommendations for graduate programs.

I wish you the best of luck in your search for a graduate program in applied physics. With determination and the right resources, I am confident you will find a program that aligns with your interests and goals.
