About the course

Physics, the study of matter and energy, is at the root of every field of natural science and underlies all physical phenomena. The problem-solving skills learned in the study of physics are valuable even if one?s career is not in a physics-related field.The B.S. with a major in Physics provides a rigorous background in physics as a preparation for graduate studies or a career in industry. The B.A. with a major in Physics is for students who want a background in physics but plan to pursue fields of interest other than physics as a life?s work. The B.S. with a major in Physics (Astronomy Concentration) provides a rigorous background in physics as well as an overview of modern astronomy as a preparation for work at astronomical observatories or graduate study in astronomy. Career opportunities for a physics major exist in a wide variety of settings, from teaching in a classroom to basic research in an industrial or government laboratory, as a self-employed consultant, or as a member of a multidisciplinary research team.
