物理学专业的学士学位是我们最灵活的学位课程。与我们的学士学位相比，物理课程所需的学分减少了27个，其中高级实验室课程减少了3个。这使得学士学位对希望将物理研究与其他兴趣相结合的学生特别有吸引力。这样的学生通常修完艺术，人文或社会科学的第二专业。学士学位的学生经常对获得医学，法律或商业专业学位的学士学位感兴趣。现代物理学的经验基础为各种职业提供了令人振奋且连贯的核心。科技对人类活动各个领域的影响正在稳步增长。了解科学事业对商业，金融，医学，法律，媒体，文学，艺术，通识教育，政府以及任何其他其他领域至关重要。
The mission of the Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics is to provide an education in fundamental areas of physics, including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermal physics/statistical mechanics, and laboratory, data analysis and computational skills, while offering maximum flexibility to pursue other interests. Compared to the BS degree, there are 27 fewer required credit hours of physics courses, including 3 fewer advanced laboratory courses. This makes the BA degree particularly attractive to students who wish to combine a study of physics with the pursuit of other interests or customize their physics degree with courses of their own choosing. Such students often complete a second major in the arts, humanities or social sciences and they may apply to a professional program in medicine, law or business after completing their BA. Understanding the scientific enterprise can be crucial in business, finance, medicine, law, the media, literature, the arts, general education, government, and any number of other pursuits.<br><br>The required physics courses provide exposure to a broad range of physical phenomena as well as training in the scientific method, techniques of problem solving, data analysis, quantitative approaches to physical problems, and experimental procedures. Although less intense than the BS program, the BA program can, with a judicious choice of electives, provide an excellent preparation for graduate study in physics. At the same time, a reduced requirement for technical courses in the physics BA program provides an opportunity to explore other disciplines in depth.
