Undergraduate Degrees and 未成年人 in 物理

Your Dream Job Awaits: Earn a Bachelor of 物理 在BSU

天体物理学. Quantum Technologies. 光学. 教学. Whether you’re interested in exciting and challenging job opportunities in any of these fields or continuing to graduate school, a Bachelor of Science in 物理 degree from Bridgewater State University is an excellent place to start.

If you’re searching for the best undergraduate physics programs, you’ll find them 在BSU. Unlike other bachelor of physics programs, you won’t have to wait long for exciting career opportunities. Through our undergraduate programs, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art equipment and techniques. You may also work in research and 实习s as early as your sophomore year.

通过 Department of 物理, Photonics and Optical Engineering 在BSU, you may tailor your undergraduate program to earn a minor or bachelor of physics that fits your interests and career goals.

Work with cutting-edge technology

In our physics undergraduate program, from the bachelor’s degree in physics to the physics minor, you’ll first work with experimental technology such as laser, optical and other electronic devices to get a feel for how they function. 然后, you’ll move on to research-grade equipment for astrophysics, 生物物理学, quantum physics and computational physics research.sics, 生物物理学, quantum physics and computational physics research.

Study and research in state-of-the-art facilities

Whether you’re a physics minor or working toward a bachelor of physics, you’ll learn and practice your skills in the Quantum Technologies and Cold Atomic Lab; Single Molecule 生物物理学 Lab; an observatory with a telescope, filters and spectroscope; and the Photonics Research lab. BSU’s facilities and equipment help to make BSU’s one of the best undergraduate physics programs you’ll find.

Learn from the best

Offering one of the best undergraduate physics programs means that our faculty members have completed top doctoral programs and international research collaborations. They’ve also won more than six BSU 总统ial Awards for outstanding teaching, collaboration and social justice.

Hands-on work you can’t get with other bachelor of physics degree programs

While studying for your bachelor’s degree or minor in physics, you’ll have the opportunity to complete either an honors thesis, 实习, student teaching experience or capstone project. This will allow you to demonstrate your skills and apply your knowledge to real-world research and work before you graduate.

Gain experience while you study

You don’t need to wait until graduation to dip your toes into working in the field. Get some training and practice under your belt with regional optics companies as an intern or part-time employee. This work experience could also earn you course credit toward your bachelor’s degree or minor in physics.

Academic support and career advising

Each faculty member in BSU’s physics undergraduate program has fewer than 12 advisees. Because of this, you and your peers will have personal attention and guidance in everything from classroom instruction to 实习s, research projects or other experiential learning opportunities while you complete your bachelor of physics or minor.

Small class sizes mean big benefits

Learn in classes with fewer than 20 undergraduate students. This will give you easy access to additional help from your instructors, plus the chance to get to know and collaborate with fellow physics majors and 未成年人.

Find community with like-minded peers and faculty

Join the nationally recognized BSU chapter of the Society of 物理 Students, which has garnered an Outstanding Chapter Award . Help organize or attend the group’s speaker series and other special events for physics majors and 未成年人, or simply connect with fellow classmates and instructors outside of class. These in-person opportunities will help you make the most of your physics program experience.

Program of Study for Minor, BS, BA, Minor 物理 Students

Our Bachelor of 物理 program is one of the best undergraduate physics programs around. Through it, you’ll explore many scientific disciplines, including:

  • 生物物理学
  • Quantum optics
  • Quantum entanglement and technologies
  • Standard model particle theory
  • 天体物理学 and general relativity
  • Astronomical imaging
  • Computational physics
  • 物理 pedagogy and teaching

Should you choose to minor in physics, you’ll study general and modern physics to give you a good foundation in the field. BSU also offers upper-level elective courses in physics specialization areas — such as semiconductor devices, electronics and photonics — that are typically only part of the curriculum at larger universities or grad schools.

Careers in 物理

Armed with bachelor’s degrees from some of the best undergraduate physics programs you’ll find, BSU grads typically go on to graduate school, become teachers or start work in industry. The demand is high for qualified professionals with a bachelor’s degree in physics. Our alumni have worked for a number of leading tech companies, including MIT Lincoln Labs, Hubspot的, 德雷珀实验室, the Navy Underseas Warfare Center and more as:

  • Optical or laser engineers
  • Optical or quantum technologists and metrologists
  • Software engineers
  • Calibration engineers
  • Medical researchers and technicians
  • Middle and high school physics teachers

Should you choose to minor in physics, you may apply what you learn as a teacher, engineer or other science professional.

Continue your education beyond your physics undergraduate degree

Recent BSU grads with a Bachelor of 艺术 or a Bachelor of Science in 物理 are pursuing advanced degrees in physics at the University of Pennsylvania, Boston College, 加州大学洛杉矶分校, 克莱姆森, 威克森林, Indiana University, 德克萨斯州的一个&M and many other graduate schools.

If you want to continue your education beyond your Bachelor of 艺术 or Bachelor of Science in 物理, you can also complete a Master of Science in 物理 in just 18 months at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

Through BSU’s cooperative agreement with UMass Dartmouth, you could be accepted into the graduate program during your junior year. 然后, you may count two BSU classes toward your master’s degree at UMass Dartmouth and take graduate classes there before you graduate from BSU.
