Bachelor of Arts in Physics

The study of physics provides a crucial understanding of the world around us though the study of the fundamental laws governing matter and energy. The field of physics has been instrumental in the development of advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and medical equipment, impacting every aspect of our way of life. Studying physics fosters critical thinking, quantitative proficiency, and the ability to research and organize information, and infer new ideas. The ability to think critically, solve complex problems, develop effective models, and use a broad array of technical tools, makes physicists attractive to employers in the both the private as well as the government sectors. Physicists typically pursue careers in research and development (R&D), science, engineering, medicine, education, law, and finances. Some typical job titles are: R&D/Science/Engineering: Research Scientist/Associate, Material Scientist/Researcher, Optical Physicist/Engineer, Automotive Engineer, Solar Engineer, Robotics Engineer, Test Engineer, Design Engineer, Laboratory Technician, Nuclear Technician, Application Engineer, Laser Engineer, Environmental Scientist, Geophysicist, Meteorologist, Technical Specialist, Medicine/Education/Law/Finance: Medical Physicist, Radiation Health Officer Teacher/College Professor, Patent Law, Data Analyst, Quantitative Analyst, System Analyst, IT Consultant
