<p>I am a spring transfer student admitted to Brandeis. After searching dozens of websites I still find not much info about Physics at Brandeis. Knowing it is not a popular major with only a few people getting in each year, I wonder will I receive a top-notch education there . Would somebody please give some information regarding this major? thank you!</p>

<p>It is certainly a rather unpopular major at Brandeis among the sciences. There is no explicit application for the undergraduate major, though you have to survive the courses and many students drop out after two or three semesters. What about the major would you like to know specifically? (Feel free to PM me.)</p>
<p>I currently attend Brandeis. Physics definitely is popular, especially among my group of friends (I am in the Math dept which is lower regarded, and I’m considering switching). As the poster above said, our departments in general are not application based and are theoretical. Some like it, some don’t. Regardless, employers realize the level of critical thinking needed to pass through the physics major. So you probably won’t get employed for your knowledge (if you go out of the physics/engineering field), but more for your adeptness. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
