<p>hello!
well i was just wondering whether I should take Physics or Nuclear Engineering for undergrad major if I want to major in Plasma Physics for Grad. Thank you!</p>
<p>Anything is welcome. Both are equivalent. I think Physics will give you a broader base than NEng.</p>
<p>Well physics is a very bleak field for graduate studies. There are a lot more job openings in engineering.</p>
<p>That being said, graduate schools look more at your transcript (i.e. the courses you’ve taken), than your overall major – it just happens that one typically correllates with the other. As long as you have a solid basis in physics, math, and chemistry, then you’ll be ok in terms of coursework.</p>
<p>What is most important in getting into a physics grad program is research experience. Whatever you decide, you need to make sure you can find an undergraduate research program that is related to plasma physics. (See if your schools allow undergraduate research, and look at the NSF REU website [nsf.gov</a> - Funding - Research Experiences for Undergraduates - US National Science Foundation (NSF)](<a href=“Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) | NSF - National Science Foundation”>Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) | NSF - National Science Foundation) )</p>
