We designed the Physics B.S. to give you a thorough background across all major sub-fields in physics and to focus on significant research experience. The B.S. carries the requirement of a senior thesis based on professional-level research conducted with one or more of our faculty. Because of its comprehensive nature, our B.S. physics degree is tailored more to people interested in a graduate school track or industry career in physics, but will also prepare you very well for graduate work in a closely related field like astronomy or geophysics.
