Physics Majors
Physics Majors
The Department of Physics and Astronomy helps many students acquire a general understanding and appreciation of physics and astronomy. In the liberal arts tradition, the undergraduate curriculum is complete and flexible enough to allow a graduate with a major in physics to pursue a variety of careers. We develop the problem-solving and analytic skills that many employers value, allowing some of our graduates to enter the workforce directly, while some of our graduates continue their studies with graduate work in physics or related areas.
To help you navigate your way through the Physics curriculum, you will find descriptions of all Physics courses, links to websites of current courses, requirements for Physics Majors and Minors, and suggested 4-year curricula for the B.A. and B.S. degrees in Physics.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a number of scholarships for Physics Majors. More information and an application form are available here.
