About the course

The B.A. program in Physics is designed for students who are seeking a broad foundation in physics as part of a liberal arts education in the arts and sciences. It is particularly appropriate for those students (1) seeking a secondary teaching career or (2) planning to combine physics with other disciplines, such as music, law, and business. Quarks, black holes, gravitational waves, nanotechnology and chaotic systems—discoveries like these make front-page news as physicists continue to learn about the universe’s fundamental structure. Studying how matter and energy behave, beginning physics majors and senior physicists alike find challenges and excitement in solving problems and discovering new concepts. Physicists in business and industry work with revolutionary technology, such as lasers, superconductors, and modern electronic and optical devices. Jobs in these fields are often in high demand and pay well. The Department of Physics and Astronomy is devoted to including students in research. Many of our undergraduate and graduate students are accepted into Ph.D. programs at R1 research institutions. The department has three main research foci in physics: Astrophysics, Biophysics and Condensed Matter Physics. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
