物理专业可以从五个不同的专业中进行选择，以获得其物理学位，如下面第4节“高级核心要求”中所述。尽管各个专业共享课程的共同核心，但它们也使学生能够为特定的职业道路做准备。在这些曲目之间进行选择时，学生应咨询其教职顾问。物理系提供通向BS学士学位的多学科学习计划，使学生可以灵活地选择合适的课程集以为其职业目标做准备。理论和实验物理学课程的共同核心将导致对物理学一般原理的广泛理解。不同的课程使学生能够在某个感兴趣的领域中应用问题解决技术进行专业化，这也提高了他们毕业后在该领域的就业资格。
The Department of Physics offers a multi-track program of study leading to the B.S. or B.A. degree, giving students the flexibility to choose a suitable set of courses to prepare for their career goals. The Physics B.S. includes a common core of courses in theoretical and experimental physics that will lead to a broad understanding of the general principles of physics. Different tracks allow students to specialize, applying problem-solving techniques in a certain area of interest, this also enhances their qualifications for employment in that area after graduation. After graduation our students are prepared to enter advanced study in physics, engineering, medicine, environmental sciences, astronomy, and other related disciplines. They are also prepared to begin careers as varied as engineering physics, computational physics, and physics education. Undergraduate physics majors benefit from small class sizes and are encouraged to be involved in research and in individually designed senior projects working with a faculty advisor. Physics majors can select from two curricular options: a B.A. or B.S. in Physics. The B.A. gives students the flexibility to combine physics with another focus area in an interdisciplinary program, in particular Physics Education, Biophysics, Information Technology/Data Science, or Technical Writing.
