Physics: Curriculum

The Physics Program offers both a B.S. and a B.A. as well as a minor in physics.

Our students also actively participate in research, both on campus and off. Although not required, the research can be part of a senior thesis.

For a description of our degree programs and our thesis policy, please follow the links in the sub-menu at left.
