This undergraduate program focuses on helping you develop a firm understanding of the principles, concepts and methods of physics, effectively employ the scientific method, and apply the concepts of physics to real-world challenges. You and your faculty adviser will work together to develop a four-year program in physics and related areas that allows you to successfully pursue future career goals and ambitions.?Our B.A. in physics offers you intensive instruction in classical and modern physics. Successful students will have advanced analytic and mathematical skills, particularly as they pertain to physics applications. Our program provides you with a strong foundation that's in demand by employers in the private and public sectors. You'll also be ready to go on for advanced professional or graduate study.?Our program uses the Studio Physics approach to teaching and learning in introductory-level courses. In this format, first instituted at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, lecture and laboratory experiences are integrated for an active, hands-on experience. Physics students benefit from opportunities to use instrumentation. Physics faculty members are focused on student research and on ways to enable students to present their research at national conferences.
