Bachelor of Arts in Physics

University of the Pacific - Shorelight

That's pretty broad, but so is a physics degree. Physics majors of course most often go into scientific or technical fields (like optics, superconductivity, nanotechnology, new energy methods, etc.), but it is a very flexible degree. Physics majors go on to careers in biology, law, financial firms, teaching, and other areas - basically anywhere there are difficult problems to solve. Pacific's Department of Physics and Astronomy is smaller than departments at larger research-focused schools, which means we get to know you on an individual basis. We know your personal strengths, needs and interests. In larger departments at other universities, the faculty work primarily with their graduate students, leaving undergraduates at a distance. We work closely with our undergraduate students, mentoring them through the most formative time in their career.
