Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: University Curricula

The Physics B.S. offers the following concentrations:

  1. Advanced Physics: Designed for students planning to go on to graduate school in physics. The concentration provides a solid and rigorous grounding in physics and will prepare the students well for the advanced physics GRE test, as well as graduate school studies.
  2. Computational: Offers a solid grounding in physics through the physics core, and develops computational skills applicable to all scientific fields. These skills are developed through a computational physics course and courses in computer science. Students following this concentration can also complete a minor in computer science by taking one extra computer science course after fulfilling the concentration requirements. This concentration prepares students well for the job market by offering applicable skills as well as experience through its project or internship requirement.
