Introduction
My graduate major is Applied and Engineering Physics; it is a science degree program includes the tradition of physics and the application of physics. This degree requires 30 credits to graduate, including 6 credits of core courses, 15 credits of emphases, and 9 credits of electives.
Academic Goals
There are three academic goals which are developing my English skills, passing requirement score of GRE, and enhancing my subject field’s ability.
