The BS—Physics offers preparation for graduate study in physics or for research in industrial technology. There are three tracks in the BS—Physics program: Nanomaufacturing Technology, Pre-engineering, and Applied Physics.

Nanofabrication Cooperative Experience

The IUP physics department participates in a cooperative agreement with Penn State University (PSU) to help address the need of Pennsylvania industry for skilled nanofabrication workers. anyone who meets the prerequisite requirements may enroll through IUP in a one-semester experience at the PSU Center for Nanotechnology Education and Utilization (CNEU). These courses are offered in two modes: (1) as a capstone semester expereince at the Penn State CNEU or (2) as a hybrid capstone semester consisting of distance learning followed by a two-week hands-on lab experience at CNEU.
