Physics Department

Graduates with a B.S. in Physics often go on to graduate schools in physics or engineering. A significant percentage of them, however, use physics as a springboard to careers in other fields like medicine, law, or finance. Indeed, studies show that physics graduates are top scorers in exams like the MCAT or the LSAT and are appreciated everywhere for their problem solving abilities.

The Physics Department offers undergraduate studies leading to two different degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Physics or a Bachelor of Science in Education. In addition, the Physics B.S. offers concentrations in Advanced Physics and Computational Physics, as well as a certificate in nanotechnology. A Physics Minor is also available. Physics Education 7-12 students seeking Pennsylvania certification should see requirements outlined in the College of Education and Human Services.
