In addition to solid background in physics provided by the must courses, the following Concentrations aim to guide the students to focus in a particular area of physics during their undergraduate study, or prepare for graduate studies. Each Concentration contains two core courses and a set of courses of different flavors. Students are required to take four courses from Concentrations; two of these must be the core courses of one Concentration. Students planning graduate study in Physics are strongly advised to take all four courses from the same Concentration appropriate to their career objectives.
