A background in physics prepares students for diverse fields such as astronomy, medicine, engineering, architecture, consulting, acoustics, science education, science policy, as well as physics. Physics courses explore physical phenomena and properties of the universe like mechanics, gravitation, electricity and magnetism, atomic and nuclear structure, waves and optics, and the properties of matter and energy. During coursework, students acquire skills with the theoretical and experimental tools required for the practice of physics and astronomy. At the same time, students come to appreciate how the intersection of science and technology has shaped history and society. The Department of Physics offers two majors: Physics (BS) and Physics (BA). The Physics (BS) prepares students for graduate school in physics and related fields and for careers in science and technology. Also, students with the Physics (BS) have the technical and computing skills to qualify them for jobs at research laboratories and technical consulting firms. The Physics (BS) program has three tracks: traditional physics, chemical physics, and computational physics.
