The Bachelor of Science degree in Physics is a professionally oriented program that serves as preparation either for graduate work in physics or for entrance into positions in a variety of industries or government service. The Pre-Medicine/Pre-Osteopathy concentration is interdisciplinary and designed to prepare physics majors for further study leading to careers in medicine.

Graduates of this program will be able to: Demonstrate technical and cognitive skills important in a good physicist, including the following: Think critically and analytically. Define a problem and how to solve problems. Understand advanced mathematics (e.g., calculus and differential equations) and computer skills. Use, design and even build lab equipment. Demonstrate the traits important in a good scientist, namely, hard working, creative, meticulous, persistence, tenacious and self confidence. Communicate results of their work to peers, to their instructors or supervisors, to various target groups within the physics community and to people outside the discipline.
