Some useful links.
For Amherst students interested in
theoretical physics
For Amherst students interested in
engineering
Thinking about graduate school in the physical sciences or engineering? The
AAPT graduate school guide might be useful.
Students interested in applying to medical school should see the
Amherst College Guide for Premedical Students.
Interested in summer research in physics or a related field away from Amherst?
The National Science Foundation (NSF) funds paid summer research programs
at a variety of universities and labs through their Research Experience
for Undergraduates (REU) program. Have a look at the
NSF REU page
Are you interested in being a theoretical physicist at a primarily undergraduate
institution? The
Anacapa Society
is a new professional society dedicated to supporting research in theoretical physics
at primarily undergraduate institutions. It is permanently hosted at Amherst
College. I'm a founding member and the liaison to Amherst College.
