Students pursuing a physics major will enroll in courses that equip them for careers in industry or government, or for advanced studies in physics and related disciplines.
The Physics Department provides two undergraduate degree options along with a physics minor. The Bachelor of Arts and minor programs cater to students seeking adaptable curricula to build interdisciplinary expertise. The Bachelor of Science focuses more intensively on physics, preparing students for professional roles in physics or closely related fields. This program combines mandatory core classes with specialized coursework in specific areas. Foundational physics and mathematics courses form the core, establishing the groundwork for higher-level studies. Those intending to pursue graduate studies in physics should opt for the Bachelor of Science in Physics.
Our undergraduate physics programs share common goals: cultivating (1) comprehensive technical abilities and knowledge, (2) effective communication skills, and (3) independent critical thinking capacity. Each objective is tailored to the degree level.
For the B.A. in physics, technical competencies include proficiency in calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, general and modern physics, classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, and nuclear measurement techniques.
