Physics, BS

Wright State University

The B.S. in physics degree is designed to meet your desire for a strong foundation in experimental and theoretical physics along with a solid background in mathematics. It will also enable you to pursue graduate school in physics or a related field, such as engineering, or directly enter the workforce and a career in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) related field. Our alumni have gone on to become associate corporate counsel at MeadWestvaco, manager at Lockheed Martin, research leaders at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, a physics teacher at the Dayton Regional STEM School, a teacher at Ann Arbor, Michigan, Public Schools, and university professors at the University of Utah and the University of Dayton, just to name a few. Others have gone on to earn their Ph.D. and work at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, become surgeons or consultants, work in industry, and more.
