Overview

Applied Physics Program Overview

The Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals Applied Physics graduate program—one of the few available in the nation—offers a wide variety of courses that will enrich your experience as an engineer and will prepare you for exciting careers in the research and development of cutting-edge technology. Career opportunities in applied physics is vast, including jobs in fiber optics, astrophysics, laser and quantum optics, nondestructive testing, and condensed matter. Taught by notable scientists from the Johns Hopkins Physics Lab, NASA, and the Naval Research Laboratory, you can focus on a wide range of topics, including optics, interstellar space, ocean science, solid-state physics, and more. Learn to develop new technologies and solve engineering problems.

The Applied Physics program at Johns Hopkins University prepares you to:

Master mathematical methods that are essential to the fields of applied physics and engineering, including integral transforms, ODEs, complex analysis, PDEs, and boundary value problems.
Solve practical problems using Maxwell’s Equations and classical electrodynamics, such that static and time-varying fields in free space and media, conservation laws, and gauge invariance can be investigated.
Establish a firm understanding of the mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics.
Select courses to tailor your degree and gain the knowledge that works best for you.
