Physics prepares students to explore the fundamental principles that govern matter, energy, space and time. The program provides a strong foundation in areas such as mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum physics, thermodynamics and laboratory methods, with opportunities to engage in research and advanced problem-solving. Graduates are prepared for careers in research, technology, engineering, data science, education and industry, as well as graduate or professional study.
Programs of Study
BS Physics
The BS in Physics provides a strong foundation in the principles of matter, energy, motion and physical systems. Students prepare for graduate study or careers in research, technology, engineering, data science, education and related fields.
MS Physics
PhD Physics
Minor in Physics
BS Physics — Pre-Med (MPHY), Pre-Den (DPHY), Pre-Opt (OPHY)
This concentration helps students complete coursework aligned with preparation for medical, dental or optometry school while building a strong foundation in physics, mathematics and the physical sciences.
