About the course

Physics is all about the behavior of matter and energy, and every day is spent looking deeper and deeper into its fundamentals. Classical physics includes mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, acoustics and optics. Modern physics is concerned with the study of atoms and molecules, atomic nuclei, elementary particles, and the properties of liquids, crystalline solids and other materials - as well as the areas of relativity, cosmology and the large-scale structure of the universe. Clemson's physics program examines each. You can choose to receive a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts - the difference is with the Bachelor of Science you can choose to take a biophysics concentration or an emphasis area in a science or engineering, while the Bachelor of Arts requires more liberal arts classes and includes a minor in any of a large number of subjects. Whether you choose to pursue a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts in physics in your first year on campus, you'll be diving into physics, chemistry and calculus classes. Just as physics is a diverse discipline, we offer several ways for you to create a degree program that's the best fit for your future research and career goals. The Bachelor of Science coursework will prepare you for graduate study, ultimately leading to a Ph.D., or research and development work in industrial or governmental laboratories. It also provides a good background for graduate study or industrial work in many areas as well as engineering physics and applied science Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
