About the course

The physics program provides scientific skills in experimental investigation and theoretical understanding of the properties of matter and energy and the laws that govern them. BGSU?s Bachelor of Science in physics readies students for graduate school and a career in academia, while our Bachelor of Arts in physics prepares students for a career in industry and adds courses in computer-aided design and computer science. All physics majors are encouraged to take PHYS 1910 in the fall of their freshman year to learn more about our department, our research, the careers that are available, and the pathways that lead students there. The first two years of the curriculum emphasize general physics, chemistry and calculus courses in order to build solid conceptual foundations across disciplines. Advanced courses in classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics and computational physics are offered in the junior and senior years to provide our graduates with a strong grasp of the main fields of physics. Students may seek employment in the department as paid research assistants. National laboratories, such as the Argonne National Laboratory, offer half-year appointments to qualified junior and senior physics majors. These students work with scientists in the laboratory on current projects and earn academic credit. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
