Physics & Astronomy

The Department offers three majors: a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Bachelor of Arts in Physics, and a Bachelor of Science in Biophysics. The Bachelor of Science in Physics can include a Concentration in Photonics. Minors in Physics and Astronomy are also offered for those interested in adding some science content to their program. For those looking to enter the growing field of Health Physics, the department offers a Certificate of Undergraduate Study in that area. The department is also part of the interdisciplinary Materials Science minor.

Physics majors learn significant subject content and develop highly marketable problem-solving analytical skills. Graduates from the Physics program have moved on to graduate programs in physics, engineering, education, and mathematics or entered professional schools for law, medicine, or business administration. Others have entered the work force as engineers, teachers, computer scientists, and technicians or found careers in banking and insurance. The diversity of the professions selected by our graduates reflects the versatility of the Physics degree and the importance of analytical skills.
