Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Biological Physics] From Georgetown University

The Physics Department offers programs leading to a B.S. in Biological Physics or an A.B. in Biological Physics. We also offer majors and a minor in Physics. Students planning to attend graduate school in physics, biological physics, biophysics, or engineering or intending to work as a physicist usually pursue a B.S. degree. Students interested in careers in medicine, law, finance, or other areas will benefit from either of the programs, but they may find that the A.B. allows more time to pursue other degrees or interests. The first 5 courses taken for the B.S. and the A.B. are the same, so it is not necessary to decide between the two degrees until at least the end of the 2nd year.
