Our physics department offers both a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree. Both degree options allow you to pursue graduate studies or work in industry. The B.S. degree has a more traditional physics focus which can serve as a foundation for careers in physics, research, engineering, law, medicine, business, technical writing, and teaching. Students in the B.A. program take fewer required math and physics courses and have a broader choice of electives. This enables more opportunities for minors and second majors in the spirit of a liberal arts education. We also offer a Minor in Astronomy and a Minor in Physics.
