Explore the dynamic relationship between computer science and physics through Temple's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Physics program within the College of Science and Technology. This intensive 123-credit curriculum equips students for professional careers or advanced studies in either field, whether pursuing computer science roles or physics research opportunities. Designed for students passionate about both disciplines, this interdisciplinary program enables completion of core requirements for both majors within a standard four-year timeframe. The degree's academic structure comprises three primary components: computer science, mathematics, and physics. Students will develop fundamental expertise in areas including algorithm development, classical and contemporary mathematical physics, quantum mechanics, data architecture, and programming/system design. While Computer Science and Physics are available as standalone majors, this combined degree offers a synergistic educational experience across complementary fields. Computer science focuses on computer design and applications, while physicists employ computational tools to simulate environments and validate hypotheses. During their final undergraduate year, students undertake a culminating project by choosing among these options: Experimental Physics, Independent Computer Science Research, or Computer Science Projects.
