About Bachelor of Physics

Do you want to develop critical thinking skills, learn the theory of science, and experience hands-on approaches to solving problems? Do you want to be more competitive in tomorrow's science-based economy?

The bachelor of science in physics is designed primarily for students interested in continuing their studies at the graduate level in physics. Those interested in seeking employment directly after their baccalaureate degree should consider the BSAP in applied physics degree.

The curriculum of the BS degree requires courses in the major areas of physics (motion, gravity, electricity, magnetism, optics, relativity, and quantum physics) along with calculus. Students may pursue mathematics instruction to improve their background in analytical and numerical techniques. Upon graduation, the student will be given special consideration for entrance into one of the three master's programs at ECU in medical, health, or applied physics; or ECU's PhD program in biomedical physics.
