The Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics is a liberal arts degree that allows considerable freedom in the planning of upper-level courses and can easily be combined with other majors and interests. The physics courses emphasize conceptual foundations, problem-solving skills, and experimental techniques. Honors requirements: To graduate with honors, students must complete and present a research project, and are suggested to maintain a GPA above 3.50 overall and in the major. They are also expected to attend department colloquia. Interested students should contact the physics honors program coordinator.
Program Delivery
This program is available:
  • via classroom (the majority of instruction is face-to-face)
