The Physics Department provides two distinct programs: a standard Physics major and a Biological Physics major. Both programs offer the option to earn either a B.S. or A.B. degree. The B.S. in Physics caters to students with diverse career aspirations, including those aiming for graduate studies or careers in physics, science, or technology. The B.S. in Biological Physics prepares students for advanced studies or professional opportunities in biophysics, biomedicine, or bioengineering. The A.B. programs in Physics and Biological Physics are tailored for students pursuing graduate work or careers in non-scientific fields like medicine, law, business, journalism, government, or education. The A.B. programs also offer more flexibility for students wishing to complete a second major. Additionally, students can earn a Physics minor.
For the B.S. Biological Physics major, students must complete at least five upper-level Physics courses and four supplementary science courses beyond the introductory curriculum. The A.B. Biological Physics major requires a minimum of three advanced Physics courses and four corollary science courses in addition to the foundational coursework.
