The Department of Physics offers the following bachelor degrees:
- In Physics (College of Arts & Sciences)
- Bachelor’s of Arts (BA)
- Bachelor’s of Science (BS)
The BS program requires more science and mathematics courses and prepares students for a job or continued studies in physics or a related scientific, engineering or technological field. The BA degree allows more flexibility in choosing elective courses and requires a minor in another department.
