Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the inquiry of an individual with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering seeking advice on pursuing higher studies in physics. The scope includes academic requirements for graduate programs and potential preparatory courses.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests that a typical chemical engineering degree may not meet the minimum requirements for admission into a graduate physics program, but emphasizes that this depends on specific course loads and the programs of interest.
  • Another participant requests suggestions for courses that could help bridge the gap between their current qualifications and the requirements for physics graduate studies.
  • A later reply directs the original poster to a specific thread for guidance, indicating that there may be additional resources available for their situation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the specific requirements for admission into physics graduate programs, and the discussion remains open regarding the necessary preparatory courses.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the specific qualifications required for different physics programs, and the discussion does not clarify the exact courses that may be beneficial for the original poster.

It might help to be a little more specific with your question.

Off hand, I'm not sure that a typical chemical engineering degree would meet the minimum requirements for admission into a graduate level physics program - however, the devil is in the details. Your specific course load may be sufficient - depending on the program that you're interested in. I would recommend contacting any department that you're interested into see what you need to do to qualify for their program.
 
can you suggest me with some courses.
