The Department also has?the following minors:?Biophysics,?Geography,?Geology, and?Physics. Geology & Physics also offers the following Bachelor of Science degrees in Secondary Science Teaching:?Earth-Space Science, Physical?Science, and Physics. Please feel free to stop by and visit with a faculty member in Geology & Physics to learn more about our programs. We are located on the second floor of the Science Center.??

Physics is the study of the most basic laws of nature and describes such phenomena as electricity, light, sound, magnetism, forces, energy, and heat.? It is a requirement for all science majors and critical in many courses of study.?

The Physics Program at USI offers many options to students with an interest in physics.? For the majors, we offer a BA/BS option in Physics, as well as a BA/BS option in Biophysics.? We also offer minors in Physics and Biophysics that complement degrees in other disciplines. The Physics degree offers four possible tracks for the major: (1) Traditional?for students pursuing further studies in graduate school; (2) Teaching?for students seeking licensure to teach in high school setting; (3) Applied?for students seeking training in physics and engineering that can be applied in industry; and (4) Computational?for students seeking physics and computer training for applications in problem solving and analysis in research or industry. The Biophysics degree offers high level training in multiple disciplines (including biology, chemistry and math) enabling entry into medical school, graduate school or research and development opportunities.
