Overview

In Georgia Southern University’s Physics Department, you are prepared for a career or advanced degree from the start. We offer the following programs, so explore the one that fits your interests:

Bachelor of Science in Physics
Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Physics and Astronomy
Physics degree for the Pre-Med Program

Physics BS

The Physics BS curriculum is rigorous in its physics and mathematics course requirements and is designed primarily for students who wish to pursue an advanced degree in physics or employment as a professional physicist in an industrial setting. Because physics forms the basis of many other sciences such as chemistry, material science, oceanography, nano-engineering and geophysics, the BS program is an excellent preparation for advanced degrees in these fields.

In addition, physicists are increasingly applying their talents to molecular biology, biochemistry, and medicine. An important part of the BS program is student participation in experimental or theoretical research with physics and astronomy faculty. The BS program also offers an emphasis in Astronomy on the Statesboro campus.

Physics BA

The Physics BA curriculum provides the student with a firm foundation in physics and with the flexibility to choose from many elective courses, thus permitting the student to explore other interests. Except for those students pursuing teacher certification, some of these elective courses are chosen to satisfy the requirements of a minor field of study.

The student can, therefore, customize his or her program of study in preparation for a career in any science-related or science-required fields, from intellectual property law and science reporting to physics teaching and planetarium sciences. Although not required for the BA program, students can become directly involved in any of the active research programs in the department. The BA program also offers emphases in Astronomy (Statesboro) and Electronics (Armstrong).
