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