Overview

You will examine the theories around energy and matter at this Bachelor of Science (BS) in Physics degree offered by Appalachian State University. You’ll become familiar with the smallest subatomic particles, as well as atoms, molecules and the largest stars and galaxies in the universe. The BS in Physics is ideal if you want to take a traditional approach to the study of physics.

Whether you choose to continue on to graduate school or pursue a career in industries such as computing, engineering, biotechnology, nanotechnology or statistics, you will be equipped with the necessary knowledge, technical training and problem-solving skills to handle many challenges.

What’s more, fields related to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) are projected to experience much faster job growth than non-STEM fields, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
