About

Bachelor of Science in Physics

Physics is the foundation for every other science and engineering field. The basis of the Bachelor of Science in Physics degree is the traditional preparation of a student for graduate study in physics. This degree features a combination of hands-on learning with renowned international faculty and access to high-end equipment. The focus on nature and properties of energy and matter, covering topics like mechanics, heat, light, radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and more opens the door to careers and opportunities in astronomy, physics, engineering and beyond.

One benefit of studying physics as KSU is the opportunity to do cutting-edge research with a faculty member. Our areas of research are theoretical and experimental particle physics, optics, computational physics, condensed matter, materials physics, and astrophysics.

Three (3) degree tracks for your success in STEM-related Physics:

General Physics: Physics is the study of matter, motion, force and energy across space and time. This area of study is wide-ranging and math-intensive; students who earn bachelor's degrees in physics develop broad analytical skills and are well prepared to pursue graduate education in physics or related areas of study. Other graduates pursue careers in the engineering, computer science or other STEM-related areas.

Electrical Engineering: This BS degree with a concentration in electrical engineering combines the study of physics with 32 credit hours of courses in electrical engineering, plus courses in solid state physics and engineering statics, thus further broadening the students' analytical skills. In addition, adding electrical engineering courses will increase the marketability of the physics student.

Mechanical Engineering: This BS degree with a concentration in mechanical engineering combines the study of physics with 30 credit hours of courses in mechanical engineering. This curriculum design helps to further broaden the students' analytical skills. In addition, adding skills developed in mechanical engineering courses will increase the marketability of the physics student.

The Bachelor of Science in Physics degree prepares you to tackle some of the most difficult problems of our time. The computational and problem-solving skills learned in this program allow you to continue your graduate education, pursue an engineering physics pathway, or to enter a career in a host of data-heavy and analytics industries.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

GPA Requirement

Graduation from high school with GPA of 2.5 with qualifying SAT/ACT test scores

(If educated outside of the United States, the required official evaluation
must indicate GPA)

First-Year Student Announcement:

First-year students applying to Kennesaw State University for the Summer, and Fall 2023 semesters may be admitted without an ACT or SAT score if they have a GPA of 3.2 or higher.

_{* Students who have a GPA of less than 3.2 should submit official ACT or SAT scores along with their high school transcript to be considered for admission.}

_{*For students who were educated outside the United States, the GPA must be reflected on the official evaluation (see requirements below). Kennesaw State will review the official evaluation.}

_{**Being exempt from SAT/ACT does not guarantee that students are also exempt from the English proficiency requirement if they are citizens of non-English speaking countries (see the Validation of English Proficiency section below).}

_{Note: Test scores are still required for some scholarships (e.g. Zell Miller) and programs (e.g. Architecture).}
