Student Success: Physics major Joe Luchsinger '13, bridged classroom learning wth experiential opportunities–including creating an applied calculus course as part of a B-W Summer Scholars program. He has been a presenter at several conferences.

From astronomy to acoustics and engineering to environmental science, physics is a dynamic field of study that cuts across a spectrum of career opportunities.

A rigorous program rooted in science and mathematics, physics melds creativity with cognitive ability in applying theory and practicality to the world around us. 

Strong Academics

A multi-faceted discipline that prepares you for post-graduate studies as well as for workplace opportunities, physics builds skills in problem solving, critical thinking, and oral/written communication. You'll be both challenged and intrigued in employing logic, theory and creativity in solving calculations and in stimulating complex thinking.

Interactive

Through a series of lectures, laboratories, discussions and independent work, you'll explore physics principles and their implications.  Small class sizes, individual attention and faculty mentoring are at the forefront of our program.

Flexible

We offer you the option of earning a bachelor's degree or following a 3/2 binary program. Students successfully completing the Pre-Engineering Program earn a bachelor of arts degree from B-W and a bachelor of science degree in their chosen field of engineering from an engineering school.

Versatile Field

Physics is a solid field of study with many career opportunities in engineering, research and teaching.

Physics is offered as a major and minor and can be applied toward Teacher Licensure.
