Bachelor of Arts - Physics

The BA program is for students wanting a broad liberal arts education with an emphasis in physics and is the appropriate major for students interested in teaching high school physics. It may be a suitable foundation for students who are planning a career not usually regarded as physics, such as business education, law, medicine, writing, environmental concerns, public safety, or computer programming.

Upon successful completion of this program, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate a comprehensive knowledge base of the major areas of physics and related disciplines.
• Perform experimental, computational, and analytical techniques in solving physics and physics-related problems.
• Apply content knowledge and skills from physics and related disciplines in a mentored undergraduate research project.
• Communicate scientific ideas effectively.
• Promote scientific literacy to the broader community.
