The Physics Bachelor of Science program, comprising 120 credit units, serves as both a foundation for advanced studies and a professional qualification. Students focusing on astronomy through elective courses gain significant preparation for graduate-level work in that discipline. Physics curricula are designed assuming strong high school backgrounds in math and physical sciences. To complete the B.S. in Physics within eight semesters, prospective students should ideally have high school coursework in physics, chemistry, geometry, trigonometry, and two years of algebra. The Biophysics specialization within this degree offers preparation for graduate studies in biophysics or professional career opportunities.
