Physics<br />
The undergraduate physics program at IIT provides an<br />
excellent preparation for a number <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essions including<br />
law (patent and intellectual property), health physics,<br />
business and research. Graduates are prepared for immediate<br />
entry into positions in industrial and government<br />
research laboratories, and for graduate study in biophysics,<br />
solid-state physics or high energy physics.<br />
Many undergraduates go on to obtain graduate degrees<br />
not only in physics, but in engineering disciplines, the<br />
health sciences, and computer science as well.<br />
