物理学本科学位不仅为物理学和相关领域的研究生学习提供了极好的基础，而且为天体物理学，生物物理学，工程和应用物理学，地球物理学，管理，法律或医学等领域的专业工作提供了良好的基础。本科课程为学生提供了获得对基础物理学的深刻概念理解的机会。部门的核心要求开始了这一过程。然后，学生选择两个选项之一来完成学位。重点课程是为计划将物理学作为职业的学生而设计的。弹性选项是为对其他（也许是非传统）职业道路感兴趣的人设计的。两种选择都为通过选修课探索提供了大量时间。学生以最适合其个人能力的专业化步伐和程度前进。两种选择都可
An undergraduate degree in physics provides an excellent basis not only for graduate study in physics and related fields, but also for professional work in such fields as astrophysics, biophysics, engineering and applied physics, geophysics, management, law, or medicine. The undergraduate curriculum offers students the opportunity to acquire a deep conceptual understanding of fundamental physics. The core departmental requirements begin this process. The student then chooses one of two options to complete the degree: the focused option is designed for students who plan to pursue physics as a career, and is an excellent choice for students who want to experience as deep an engagement as possible with physics, the flexible option also provides a very strong physics framework, and gives students who may want to pursue additional academic interests the flexibility to do so. Both programs prepare students very well for graduate studies in physics, as well as for a variety of academic or research-related careers. Either option provides a considerable amount of time for exploration through electives. Students proceed at the pace and degree of specialization best suited to their individual capacities. Both options lead to the same degree: the Bachelor of Science in Physics.
