What fields can I get into with these two degrees?
twofu said:I know physics undergrads who went to Economics for graduate school.
Carnivroar said:What about astronomy?
twofu said:Of course. Astronomy is a big part of physics. It's one of the sub-fields that a lot of grad students go into. (Astronomy is a bit different from Astrophysics but its similar in the big picture.)
With a B.S in Computer Science and Physics, you can pursue graduate programs in various fields such as Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, and more. You can also consider interdisciplinary programs that combine both fields, such as Computational Physics or Quantum Computing.
A graduate degree in Computer Science and Physics can open up a wide range of career opportunities. You can work in research and development, engineering, data analysis, software development, and more. You can also work in industries such as aerospace, defense, technology, and finance.
Yes, with a B.S in Computer Science and Physics, you can pursue a graduate degree in a specific area of either field. For example, if you are interested in artificial intelligence, you can pursue a graduate degree in Computer Science with a focus on AI. Similarly, you can pursue a graduate degree in Physics with a focus on areas such as astrophysics, quantum physics, or biophysics.
The specific prerequisites and recommended courses may vary depending on the program and university. Generally, it is recommended to have a strong foundation in mathematics, including calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. It is also beneficial to have coursework in programming, physics, and computer science fundamentals.
Yes, it is possible to pursue a graduate degree in Computer Science and Physics even if your undergraduate degree is in a different field. However, you may be required to take additional coursework to meet the prerequisites for the program. It is recommended to research the specific requirements of the program you are interested in to determine if you need to take any additional courses before applying.
