The Physics Department at UNO is a vibrant program well-known for offering quality education, diverse research activities, and broad community outreach programs. The variety of options students have in the physics program makes our graduates well prepared to thrive in modern industries. Additionally, about a third of physics graduates are accepted into top graduate degree programs where they can pursue a master’s or doctoral degree in physics, physics education, engineering, chemistry, astrophysics, biophysics and medical physics. Our curriculum is flexible and provides students with a number of options to better prepare them for the career of their choice.<br>The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in physics is offered with three different options for students to follow: Option I is for the student who intends to go on to graduate school in physics; Option II allows for the degree to to be enhanced by a second discipline; and finally, the Bachelor of Science in physics with a concentration in education leads to a physics teaching certificate at the secondary-school level. To help prospective physics majors make optimal decisions, they are encouraged to speak with a departmental adviser as early as possible
