Current Physics Majors

The Department of Physics & Astronomy helps many students acquire a general understanding and appreciation of Physics & 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 links to descriptions of all current courses and requirements for majors and minors, for the B.A. and B.S. degrees in Physics.

Some opportunities for undergraduates to participate in research with faculty are listed here.

The Department of Physics & Astronomy offers a number of scholarships for Physics majors. More information and an application form are available here.
