Our 21 credit hour minor program adds dimension to any major degree program. A physics minor also overlaps with university general studies SQ and CS requirements, thus complimenting many other liberal arts and technical programs.

This traditional “professional” physics program is selected by a majority of our majors, and especially those who plan graduate work in physics. This option has the greatest concentration in physics of all of our program options.

The structure of the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in physics program and curriculum is designed to attract highly qualified students, to prepare them better for graduate studies in physics and other postgraduate pursuits, and to help ensure timely and successful completion of their degree. The student may choose from several options or emphases:

Welcome to the Arizona State University and to our physics degree program. You have a chosen a challenging field of study that will give you an excellent preparation for a scientific or technical career, as well as great personal satisfaction as you master the fundamental laws of natural science.
