Physics

With major advances in technology happening almost every day, the physical sciences have never been more important. If you're interested in the forces that guide our universe, we offer two options to pursue the study of physics, a bachelor of art (BA) and a bachelor of science (BS). As our understanding of the natural world advances, so too do the methods by which we study it. The BS is perfect for students who wish to focus solely on scientific coursework and research, while the BA offers flexibility and extensive opportunities for interdisciplinary work. 

With coursework that bridges the fundamentals of the field with advanced topics like quantum physics and electromagnetism, students build a strong foundation complemented by the opportunity to conduct hands-on research with peers and faculty mentors. We also offer concentrations in biological physics, computational physics and nanophysics, so students can tailor their education to their interests and begin working towards careers before graduation. Our students graduate well-prepared to enter graduate school, and their experience can help them find internships and work placements in museums, planetariums, research labs and government agencies.
