Overview

The BS is designed for those students who wish to take a more concentrated program of study in physics. A student who intends to do graduate work in physics or physics-related fields should choose this program.

Required: Physics 151, 152, 253, 320, 361, 365, 421, 432, 444, 461, two physics electives, and Mathematics 111, 112, 211P, and 212.   At least one of the electives must be at the 300 level or higher, and the other elective must be at the 200 level or higher.  BS degree students are encouraged to become involved in the research programs in the department as early as possible, either informally, or formally by enrollment in Physics 499 (which can count as one elective).
