The physics program provides scientific skills in experimental investigation and theoretical understanding of the properties of matter and energy and the laws that govern them. BGSU鈥檚 Bachelor of Science in physics readies students for graduate school and a career in academia, while our Bachelor of Arts in physics prepares students for a career in industry and adds courses in computer-aided design and computer science.

Pairing a physics major with our astronomy minor is excellent preparation for a career involving astronomy or astrophysics.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the baccalaureate degree, students in physics are expected to:

Demonstrate thorough conceptual understanding of the basic field of physics;

Describe and manipulate fundamental physical constructs and solve problems with mathematics and computational methods;

Use basic experimental apparatus common to the study of physical phenomena;

Communicate scientific ideas effectively, both orally and in writing.

Internships and Careers

Students may seek employment in the department as paid research assistants. National laboratories, such as the Argonne National Laboratory, offer half-year appointments to qualified junior and senior physics majors. These students work with scientists in the laboratory on current projects and earn academic credit.
