NMSU的物理学理学士学位为学生做好物理或地球物理学的研究生学习或研究和教学的各种职业的准备。重点领域之一的专业化应该提高BS级的就业能力。BS课程要求开设更多科学和数学课程，并为学生做好在物理学或相关科学，工程或技术领域的工作或继续学习的准备。学士学位可让您在选择选修课程时更加灵活，并且需要其他部门的未成年人。
A bachelor's degree in physics or engineering physics provides the basis for careers in industry, teaching, the military, government or for study toward advanced degrees in physics or engineering. It should also provide the skills that recipients of physics degrees have listed as among the most important in obtaining their current positions, including problem solving ability, computer skills, mathematical skills, and laboratory skills, as well as knowledge of physics.Further information about the department may be found on the web at phys.nmsu.edu. All incoming (new or transfer) students must schedule an orientation meeting with the department head and/or the undergraduate program head before their first semester at NMSU. All students will be assigned a faculty advisor in the physics department to discuss course selection, career resources, internships and coops, and other topics.
