Bachelor of Science in Physics
.The Bachelor of Science in Physics is designed to prepare students for graduate studies, as well as careers in industry, education and the private sector. The curriculum consists of four introductory courses that build broad knowledge in the field while training students in laboratory and computational skills. At the advanced level, students choose theory and experiment courses to complete their major. Mathematics through differential equations is required, as is participation in the weekly departmental seminar beginning the second semester sophomore year.
