The General concentration provides a broad background in physics along with a few courses that examine areas of interest to the student. Typically, this concentration is chosen in coordination with a major in a related field.

The Physics department offers baccalaureate degree programs in Physics, Earth and Space Science, General Science, and Secondary Education. These programs are designed to prepare students for post-graduate study and/or careers in teaching and engineering, as well as careers in other fields that require knowledge of physics and/or earth and space science. ESU?s Secondary Education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education.

Four baccalaureate degree programs are offered: a Bachelor of Science in Physics; a Bachelor of Arts in Physics; a Bachelor of Arts in General Science; and a Bachelor of Arts in Earth and Space Science.
