Physics
Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Learn the fundamental laws of physics, develop your passion for knowledge and innovation, and discover how to apply what you are learning. Physics is the study of how the world works. It is the science that seeks to understand the laws of nature, and the relationship between energy and matter. Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies and black holes to the smallest subatomic particles. It is the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology and astronomy, and can be applied to biology or medical science.

Why Major in Physics?
A Physics major explores the fundamental principles that govern the universe, from energy and motion to matter and space. Students develop exceptional analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving abilities through rigorous study and experimentation.
Graduates pursue careers in science, engineering, technology, education, and research. The degree also provides excellent preparation for advanced study in physics and related disciplines.
Why Get a Minor in Physics?
A Physics minor explores the principles that govern the natural world, from motion and energy to matter and the universe itself. Students develop strong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills.
Physics complements majors in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and healthcare. The ability to approach challenges logically and systematically is valuable in a wide range of careers.
