BSc in Physics in Queens United States | Queens College, CUNY

The Physics Department provides multiple degree options including an MS in Photonics (Professional Science Master's), an MA in Physics, BS/BA degrees with Applied Physics or standard tracks, a Physics minor, a physics education major, and a pre-engineering program. The Photonics MS equips students with practical skills in modern optics, photonic devices, measurement techniques, and industry-relevant business knowledge, making them job-ready for high-tech firms. For career prospects in photonics, visit the National Photonics Initiative website. This program offers evening course options for flexibility. The Physics MA serves as a foundational program for those pursuing PhD studies in Physics or Engineering, or careers requiring strong analytical skills like quantitative finance or actuarial sciences, as well as secondary education. While the BS and BA in Physics vary in intensity, both open doors to technical careers, graduate studies, or science teaching. The pre-engineering pathway lets students earn a BA in Applied Physics before transferring to Columbia University's engineering programs, with the potential to obtain dual degrees in physics and engineering.
