• Messiah’s Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in physics degree program provides students with a rigorous, multi-faceted educational experience combined with a solid introduction into computer science and statistics—all in a Christian context. Students will take courses such as Classical and Analytical Mechanics; Electricity and Magnetism; and Quantum Mechanics and study with professors who have a variety of scholarly interests from cosmic ray detection to thin-film physics.

  • The Bachelor of Arts degree traditionally provides a broad-based physics program with more liberal arts emphasis. The B.A. physics degree at Messiah gives students a strong physics education while still leaving plenty of room for electives, and a possibility to add a minor or second major if desired. The B.A. degree is also the best for students wishing to study one semester abroad.
