• The Bachelor of Arts degree program allows the upper division major more freedom in selecting a course sequence. The only restriction, beyond individual course prerequisites, is that 6 of the 42 upper division physics units required for the degree be made up of advanced laboratory courses.
  • In the upper division, the courses present the student with a more sophisticated and formal study of the discipline. Concepts and techniques are illustrated with reference to modern analysis and research.
  • Together, they enable the student to connect diverse phenomena at an advanced level and to generalize to new systems and discoveries.
