• Bachelor of Arts in Physics at Princeton University is offered as a 4-year teaching program.
  • This bachelor program has a co-op work option.
  • In order to be eligible to participate in a full-time Co-op Work Term, students must meet the GPA requirements.
  • The student to faculty ratio is 18:1 which bridges the gap between faculty and students.
  • Some of the main courses that students will study in this program are:
    • Thermodynamics
    • Quantum physics
    • Geophysics
    • Fluid dynamics
    • Astronomy
  • Concentrating in physics at Princeton will not only teach students about the structure of physical law, but it will allow them to take part in its discovery.
  • Along the way students will learn to "think like a physicist" -- a hard-to-describe skill combining practiced intuition, the scientific method, and a knack for approximation -- and they will develop powerful, broadly-applicable problem-solving skills.
  • Physics majors are prepared not only for a career in physics but in many other fields as well.
  • Physics alumni may be found in academic and industrial physics research positions as well as consulting, medicine, law, teaching, biotechnology, and engineering careers.
  • In fact, the Physics Department has made a concerted effort to make its core requirements more flexible, allowing a greater variety of programs of study that satisfy the major requirements.
  • Career positions may include: 
    • Accelerator Operator
    • Applications Engineer
    • Data Analyst
    • Design Engineer
    • High School Physics Teacher
    • IT Consultant, etc with an average salary of 35,450 USD per year.
