Physics / Bachelor of Arts
Total Credit Hours: 128
Major Credit Hours: 52
This program provides students a solid foundation in physics. It gives students the opportunity to pursue other academic interests. The B.A. program can be excellent preparation for middle and high school physics teachers (see the B.A. Program for Physics Certification), for pre-law students (especially for patent law), for students interested in graduate work in interdisciplinary areas like History or Philosophy of Science (with appropriate coursework in other fields), and for those interested in technical careers in industry.
Degree Requirements
Program: BA-PHYS-1
A grade of "C-" or better must be earned in a prerequisite course in order to advance to the next course in the sequence. An overall GPA of 2.0 must be earned in the major in order for a student to graduate with a B.A. in Physics.
Physics majors and minors may take a Physics class only two times. If a student has not achieved a minimum of a "C-" after the second attempt, the student may not repeat the class.
