Bachelor of Science - Physics

Program Description

Physics is "the fundamental science." Astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, and engineering all apply the principles of physics to specific problems. Almost all areas of modern technology involve the applications of physics — and undergraduate study in this field provides a solid foundation for further work and study in physics, astronomy, and engineering.

Recent Physics graduates have found positions in a variety of fields including software development, optoelectronics, engineering, failure analysis, and education, among many others. The skills acquired in Western’s Physics program have prepared students for further academic studies in Physics, Astronomy, Engineering, Patent Law, Medical Physics, Medicine, and Education.
