Study the natural world and its phenomena at the most fundamental level with the Bachelor of Science in Physics or Bachelor of Arts in Physics in the College of Science and Technology at Temple University. You will first gain a solid foundation in physics and then focus on more specialized topics. The field includes a broad range of subspecialties, including studies of atoms, macroscopic systems, properties of nuclei, the structure and origin of the universe, and subatomic particles. As part of the curriculum, you’ll also learn elementary principles of other natural sciences, such as astronomy, biology and geology.
By the end of your program, you will have gained the ability to
- analyze physical systems, including data and error analysis, dimensional analysis and radiation detection;
- effectively communicate your work to others;
- study physical models using mathematical methods, including coordinate systems, single and multivariate calculus, and vector algebra; and
- understand fundamental principles of physics and how to apply them outside of the classroom.
As a Physics Major, you will have the opportunity to undertake independent studies and research projects with your coursework.
After graduation, you may pursue a career in industry, research or teaching, depending on whether you have chosen the BA or the BS path.
Bachelor of Science in Physics Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Physics, offered by the Department of Physics, provides strong preparation for those wishing to attend graduate school in physics or related disciplines and is recommended for those who intend to enter the scientific workforce upon completion of a bachelor's degree. Physics students learn how the natural world works. The laboratory, math and problem-solving skills they pick up are great for the job market.
