物理与工程物理系提供传统的BS和BA本科物理专业，以及组合的学士/理学硕士学位。这些课程的结构使完成物理学本科课程的学生能够：1）具备成功进入并完成物理学研究生课程的能力； 2）发挥生产能力，合格的科学专业人员的作用； 3）表现出对责任感的认识为社会做出职业道德，具有社会意识的实践者的贡献。理学学士学位为学生提供物理学和数学的坚实基础，为技术或科学职业做准备。该课程的设计比文学学士学位更为严格，其设计目的是让大三和大四的学生可以专注于特定的物理领域。至少需要参加两个学期的研究，最终完成一个高级论文。强烈鼓
The Department of Physics & Engineering Physics offers the traditional BS and BA undergraduate physics majors as well as a combined Bachelor/Master of Science in Physics. These programs are structured such that students who complete the undergraduate program in physics will: 1) Be equipped to successfully enter and complete programs of graduate study in physics, 2) Function as productive, qualified scientific professionals, and 3) Demonstrate awareness of their responsibility to contribute to society as ethical, socially conscious practitioners of their profession. Bachelor of Science degree offers students a strong foundation in physics and mathematics in preparation for technical or scientific careers. More rigorous courses than the B.A. degree, the curriculum has been designed to allow students in their junior and senior years to focus on specific fields of physics. Participation in a minimum of two semesters of research, culminating in a senior thesis, is required. Additional research involvement is strongly encouraged (but not required). Graduates are qualified to work as physicists and may also pursue graduate degrees in physics or related science and engineering fields. Other options include professional degrees in medicine or engineering as well as technical careers in the science and engineering fields.
