The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) requires fewer courses than the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) so that you can develop a more individualized approach to your education. This flexibility often allows students to double major with mathematics, computer science, engineering (via the dual-degree program), or the humanities (e.g., music or philosophy), or to earn a variety of minors.

Physics is the foundation for understanding the world around us and the laws that govern the universe. It?s the most fundamental science and the basis of many other fields. For this reason, physics leads to world-changing discoveries in technology, medicine, and energy, to name just a few applications.

Because physics is so fundamental to understanding science and the world, it provides many opportunities for careers, graduate study, and theoretical and applied work.
