Overview

The Physics BA program from Skidmore College provides a basis

for graduate education in physics, engineering, astronomy, and related fields;
for careers in which analytical and problem-solving skills are important; and

for immediate employment in physics and related fields of science, engineering, and technology.

Key Facts

For all students, the Physics Department seeks to provide a foundation that can sustain a lifelong interest in science and allow them to make informed, responsible choices as citizens of an increasingly science- and technology-driven society. The college also offers dual degree programs in engineering with Dartmouth College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Clarkson College. Students interested in these programs should consult the section under Preparation for Professions and Affiliated Programs.

Sigma Pi Sigma is a national honor society founded in 1921 to honor outstanding achievement in physics and to encourage interest in physics among students at all levels. For nomination to the Skidmore chapter, students must, at a minimum, be in the upper one-third of their class in general scholarship and have completed at least three semester courses in physics that can be credited toward a physics major.
