Bachelor of Arts in Physics

University of North Texas

Study space, time, energy, and matter at all scales and unlock understanding from subatomic particles through the evolution and structure of the universe as a whole, The University of North Texas' undergraduate program in physics gives you the strong math, problem solving and analytical skills needed to study the structure and interaction of matter and energy and the way things work. From advancing state-of-the-art processes in the semiconductor industry to developing computer software for simulating exotic phenomena, physicists are helping to expand the frontiers of both basic science and advanced technology. The diversity of work conducted by physicists occurs because physical science and engineering disciplines are based, to a large extent, on physics principles. A bachelor's degree in physics also prepares students for graduate work in acoustics, astrophysics, biophysics, computational physics, medical physics and other subfields and interdisciplinary fields in physics.A bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of North Texas can lead to careers investigating these and many other areas important to our daily lives and understanding the world and universe.A Bachelor of Science in Physics prepares a student to begin a research career by providing the basis (a solid core of upper-level coursework with research hours) for advanced study in a graduate program and to acquire hands-on skills for a career in industry.The Bachelor of Arts provides the same introductory physics coursework as the BSP degree but has more flexibility in its upper-level physics requirements for students wanting to obtain a 2nd degree or concentration. This option is ideal for liberal arts/science-minded students or the student planning on teaching high school.
