Bachelor of Science
The B.S. in Physics at Southern New Hampshire University prepares graduates to understand and address complex physical systems providing a broad interdisciplinary knowledge base, technical expertise, and project based learning. Students receive a solid foundation of core courses and are required to complete a 15 credit project during their junior and senior years in which they work in close collaboration with faculty. Project topics can be chosen from areas of expertise of science faculty . Upon completion of the physics degree students will be prepared to enter the workforce directly or to enter graduate programs.
