物理学理学学士

传统上，许多物理学专业的本科生都在研究生院攻读博士学位。物理学或工程学学位。以前完成物理专业的学生还进入了其他许多领域，其中包括考古，天文学和天体物理学，生物学，数学，计算机科学，高中教学，法律，医学，环境科学，运筹学，技术销售，工业管理，工程和海洋学。由于物理学家是科学通才，因此从事物理学的本科工作以及随后在其他领域的专业研究已成为许多正在为社会设定新方向的活动的首选准备之一。物理专业的要求相对灵活，旨在为人们准备物理研究生或以后在其他领域的专业做好准备。
Physicists are scientific generalists that study the nature of the universe. A background in physics can inform the study of other disciplines, and is one of the preferred preparations for many activities that are setting new directions in society. The department offers several courses for non-science majors to provide some of this background. The physics department also coordinates the combined degree in engineering.<br>The Department of Physics offers a B.S. in Physics. The requirements for a major or minor in physics are relatively flexible, and are designed to prepare people for either graduate work in physics or for later specialization in other areas. A pre-med track is recommended to students planning to attend medical school after graduation. A new Engineering Physics and Applied Design (EPAD) track provides a more opportunities for practical problem solving and engineering design.
