Undergraduate Curriculum
Most physics majors are preparing for one of
the following upon graduation: (1) graduate study in physics; (2) graduate
study in related sciences or enrollment in professional schools (medicine,
law); (3) employment in government or industrial laboratories; (4) teaching
physics in high school.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Physics is the appropriate choice
if you plan graduate study in Physics.
In addition to the BS degree in Physics, the Physics Department also offers a Bachelor of Arts curriculum which has a flexible course of
study for students who may not plan to become professional physicists, but
who desire an interdisciplinary program with an emphasis in physics. This
program may be of interest to students who wish to double major.
Since your interests and goals govern your choice of courses, you
should try to establish your career objectives as early as possible. This
should probably be done by the end of your freshman year. At that time
you will prepare, with the help of your adviser, a plan of study. This plan
of study will serve as a guide, although it may be modified at a later
time if necessary. Either the BS or BA curriculum provides sufficient course options
so that you can achieve any of the above career objectives. |
