There's a significant difference between Theoretical Physics and Applied Physics courses in college, primarily in their focus and approach. While there might be some overlap in base courses like Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, and Quantum Mechanics, the goals of the two branches differ.
Theoretical Physics relies heavily on Mathematical and conceptual frameworks to understand the fundamental nature of the universe, meanwhile, applied physics often focuses on using physics principles to develop new technologies or solve real-world problems.
