The Department of Physics offers undergraduate programs leading to the following degrees:

• BS, Physics
• BS, Physics with Specialization in Astrophysics
• BS, Physics with Specialization in Biophysics
• BS, Physics with Specialization in Computational Physics
• BS, Physics with Specialization in Earth Sciences
• BS, Physics with Specialization in Materials Physics
• BA, General Physics
• BA, General Physics/Secondary Education

The physics major provides a core of basic education in several principal areas of physics, with sufficient flexibility to allow students to prepare either for graduate school or a career in industry. Since in preparing for either goal, more than the required core courses are necessary, it is important for students to meet with a physics department adviser in deciding a schedule.
