Bachelor of Science - Physics

The B.S. degree gives students an excellent grounding in the fundamentals of physics with training in theoretical, computational, and experimental treatments of physics principles, phenomena, and applications. Students are also encouraged to get involved in research activities within the department. This program prepares students for entry into graduate programs in physics, astrophysics, medical physics, engineering, and other STEM fields. It also opens the door to a broad range of employment options in the both the public and private sectors, including employment in industry, in secondary education, and at national labs.

At larger schools, graduate students monopolize the labs. At Lewis, students are working shoulder-to-shoulder alongside faculty PhDs from the start, putting them in a much stronger position to succeed in both grad school and their future career.
