The Department of Physics offers undergraduate programs leading to both BS and BA degrees. The Bachelor of Arts program offers a specialization in physics to students desiring a general cultural education. Flexibility in electives also makes it possible to combine a physics major with a concentration in other areas such as acoustics, materials science, oceanography, premedical science, biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics, or business. 
In addition, there are education and preprofessional tracks. The preprofessional track is appropiate for students planning carrers in medicine, dentistry, or veterinary medicine. Students completing the education track will be certified to teach physics in grades 6 - 12.

The Bachelor of Science curriculum in physics is a professional program of 4 semesters at junior-senior level for students intending to proceed with graduate studies in physics, or intending to enter governmental or industrial service. The program will also be advantageous for students preparing for graduate study in interdisciplinary or applied sciences based on physics.
