Physics

Physicists seek to understand nature at the most fundamental and quantitative level. The physics curriculum provides a broad background in scientific inquiry, quantitative problem solving, emerging research frontiers, and communication skills.

Students can pursue either a B.S. or a B.A. according to their career goals. The B.S. is recommended for students interested in graduate study or in leadership or technical positions in industry or government. It may lead to a 5-year B.S./M.S. for qualified students.

The B.A. Degree Program is for students who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary course of study with a strong background in physics. This program provides more flexibility to pursue a double major or take more electives to meet a wider set of career goals (such as science education). 

The B.A. Degree Program is for students who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary course of study with a strong background in physics. This program provides more flexibility to pursue a double major or take more electives to meet a wider set of career goals (such as pre-medicine). 

The B.A. Degree Program is for students who wish to pursue an interdisciplinary course of study with a strong background in physics. This program provides more flexibility to pursue a double major or take more electives to meet a wider set of career goals (such as pre-law).
