<p>I plan to major in physics. Which school (Columbia College or SEAS) would be the best for a physics major? Most physics course offerings?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>the physics dept is in the college</p>
<p>Yeah....but SEAS has an Applied Physics program....and since Fu Foundation focuses on the sciences....so wouldn't SEAS be a better choice?</p>
<p>To major in physics, you must be in CC. Fu focuses on engineering and APPLIED science, not the sciences. So take a look at the difference in core curriculum requirements and in the required courses for a physics major vs an applied physics major. Different animals.</p>
<p>That said, Fu courses are open to CC students. My S is finishing up a concentration (not a major) in physics and the physics department said he could finish it up with courses in physics, applied physics, certain astronomy dept classes, or certain math classes, as long as he ran it by the undergrad physics advisor. He's taking an applied physics class. Very flexible.</p>
<p>Right.</p>
<p>Both majors can be very similar if you choose to make them that way - there's certainly more theoretical tracks to applied physics if you want to make it so.</p>
