A Bachelor of Arts with a major in physics gives you the strong math, problem solving and analytical skills needed to study the structure and interaction of matter and energy — the way things work.


The BA with a major in physics is designed for students planning to teach physics in public school, taking a double major or desiring a liberal arts education with a science concentration.

Degree requirements
