BS in Physics

Eastern Michigan University

The Bachelor of Science in Physics engages students in a quantitative approach to topics including modern physics, computational physics, and electronics. Physicists are interested in all aspects of the physical universe. They seek to understand not only the smallest forms of matter, and the rich phenomena present in our everyday lives, but also the universe itself. Physics has played a critical role in human technological and intellectual development during the twentieth century. The tools of the physicist-observation, imagination, model building, prediction, and deduction-will enable physics to continue this influence well into the future. The Bachelor of Science in Physics gives students the skills they need to take on a wide variety of career challenges, including medicine, teaching, government policy, industrial research and development, science journalism, space and atmospheric research, acoustics, and business.
