The Physics Department provides two bachelor's degree options along with a physics minor. The Bachelor of Science program focuses more intensely on physics, equipping students for careers in physics or related fields. This curriculum includes mandatory core classes along with specialized coursework in chosen areas. Foundational physics and mathematics courses form the basis for advanced studies within the core requirements. Students aiming for graduate studies in physics should pursue the Bachelor of Science degree. Our undergraduate physics programs share common learning outcomes: (1) building comprehensive technical expertise, (2) enhancing communication abilities, and (3) fostering independent critical thinking. The B.S. program expands upon the B.A. requirements by incorporating practical research lab experience and deeper knowledge in areas like solid-state physics, statistical physics, nuclear physics, optics, and research methodologies. Both degree levels emphasize developing writing and presentation skills adequate for representing individuals and institutions at scientific conferences. We anticipate graduates will achieve critical thinking proficiency and self-sufficiency, requiring only limited guidance from supervisors or senior researchers.
