Bachelor of Arts - Physics

The physics curriculum at the California Lutheran University addresses the question of how and why things work, from the forces which govern subatomic particles to the large-scale phenomena which shape the universe as a whole. The fundamental nature of physics accounts for its relevance not only in engineering and technology but also in the life and earth sciences.

The various introductory courses offered by the Physics Department are thus tailored to meet the different needs of physics majors, students in other sciences and liberal arts students, in particular future teachers. The physics faculty members use a blend of interactive lectures, illustrative demonstrations and hands-on laboratory exercises to enhance students’ comprehension of the material.

The Bachelor of Arts in Physics is a more liberal physics degree, where students can explore the relationship of physics with another field of interest. The minor strengthens the training of students majoring in other fields by providing high-level technological knowledge and enhanced problem-solving skills.
