Bachelor of Arts - Physics - Custom

Students who have a passion for discovery and want to be part of an exciting and innovative field, they should consider majoring in physics. The Physics B.A. Custom Emphasis major provides strong problem-solving skills for students with interdisciplinary interests. This major is an excellent choice for them double majoring in an area such as computer science, chemistry, or biology.

The major requires fewer courses than the Physics B.S. degree, and all physics requirements can be completed in five semesters. Because graduates can choose coursework in other departments to complement their degree, they gain a custom set of skills that helps them stand out, and prepares them for jobs in high-demand industries.

Students have opportunities to work with faculty in such research areas as magnetic properties of materials, computational materials science, biological physics, statistical physics, optical spectroscopy, low-dimensional structures and surfaces, and physics education.
