BS Physics
The BS Physics Degree
This degree is designed to prepare students for graduate work in physics leading to
a career in education at the tertiary level and/or applied/basic research in a variety
of settings. Students completing this program of study will have well-developed quantitative
problem solving skills and a strong foundation for any physics-related career. Many
of our graduates have pursued traditional careers in academia and in industrial research
(e.g. aerospace, high energy, and nuclear power), while others have transferred their
problem solving skills to a diverse range of careers.
