Your career starts here

When you study physics in the School of Science at IU Indianapolis, you’ll be preparing for a potential career in areas such as:

Basic and applied research and development
Consulting
Design
Engineering
Quality control and testing
Teaching
Technical writing

Because you’ll develop a broad-based and flexible problem-solving background as part of your studies, you’ll be able to seek a career in a wide variety of fields—some of which are not directly associated with physics. The sky’s the limit. The education you get from the School of Science can take you where you want to go.

Already decided on another major? You can also minor in physics or astronomy.
