The Department of Physics offers a bachelor of science in physics, and a bachelor of science in physics with a concentration in nanoscience. The curriculum in physics prepares students for technical careers in physics or in an allied area, for careers in engineering, through either the double major in physics and engineering or the pre-engineering program, and for the teaching of physics in secondary schools. The curriculum also prepares students for graduate studies in physics or in a related area, and for graduate studies of a profession in fields such as business, medical science, environmental science, law, or science writing. The curriculum for the concentration in nanoscience further prepares students for careers in industry, academia, applied health or nanoscience-related areas, as well as prepares students for graduate studies in nanoscience and related areas.<br><br>Physics majors interested in teaching careers in elementary, middle, secondary or special education can enter the Extended Teacher Preparation Program that results in the simultaneous awarding of a bachelor's degree in physics and a master's degree in teaching.
