B.A. in Physics

University of Tulsa

The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in physics prescribes a thorough undergraduate physics curriculum while retaining flexibility to engage in a breadth of courses in the arts and sciences. This degree option is particularly well suited as part of an education or pre-medical program. The faculty of physics and engineering physics offer courses leading to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in physics, and to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics (B.S.E.P.) degree. All programs provide a critical core understanding of physics and culminate in a two-semester senior thesis/research design project.The goal of the engineering physics program is to provide the training in physics and engineering to prepare our students for careers in technical fields in industry, higher education, and for lifelong learning. Consistent with this goal, the educational objectives for the engineering physics program are to provide graduates with:The knowledge to successfully enter and complete programs of graduate study in one of several engineering fields as well as in physicsThe skills to be able to function as productive engineering professionals in areas where traditional science and engineering disciplines overlap and An awareness of the importance of continued professional self-development.
