| Credential: | Best Career Pathway For: | Overview: |
| Physics B.S. Major | Students planning to pursue graduate study in physics, or work in industry/engineering or laboratory research. The B.S. degree requires more courses within the major, and additional recommended advanced coursework. | Requirements:
Recommended:
|
| Physics B.A. Major | Students planning careers outside of physics research, which may also include graduate school work. A B.A. can also be easier to combine with another discipline that could contribute to a future career path, such as biology, chemistry, engineering, math, business, computer science, or a foreign language. | Requirements:
Recommended:
|
| Physics Minor | The minor is intended as a pathway for students to build educational depth in physics as a broad field or in subdiscipline as a way to augment another major. | Requirements:
|
| Biophysics B.S. Major | The Biophysics B.S. degree is a good choice for students who plan to do research and who may apply to a graduate program (or MD/PhD) in fields such as biology, biochemistry, bioengineering, biophysics, neurobiology, and physiology. Students interested in physics graduate school will be better off majoring in physics as the minimum requirements of the biophysics B.S. degree will not make you competitive for top physics graduate programs. | Prerequisites:
