Overview

Course overview

The Physics program at University of Virginia provides intensive preparation in physics and lays a solid foundation for a lifetime of discovery. While it is not required, we recommend that prospective physics majors take Physics in the 21st Century, which introduces many of the 'big ideas' in physics, provides an overview of potential career paths, and helps connect students with research opportunities in the department.

You are welcome to declare a physics major at any time, there are no prerequisites or conditions to fulfill.
