As a physics student, you'll explore every facet of the physical world through hands-on observation, lab experiments, theoretical frameworks, and digital modeling. At Michigan State University, undergraduates can select between a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science track for their physics degree.
The Bachelor of Arts in physics allows students to combine rigorous physics coursework with a wider liberal arts education, making it ideal for those seeking teaching certification or a more interdisciplinary approach. The Bachelor of Science program delivers comprehensive physics training with strong mathematical foundations while maintaining liberal arts requirements, preparing students for industrial or governmental research roles, advanced graduate studies, or experimental physics careers. Physics majors can also complete their Bachelor of Science degree through Lyman Briggs College.
