Requirements
The BA program offers a core physics curriculum at a less rigorous level than the BS program. All the physics major programs would be well suited for students preparing to enter medicine, dentistry, law, business, secondary school teaching, and multidisciplinary fields of science and mathematics. However, the BA programs have fewer course requirements and require less advanced mathematics, which can facilitate for the completion of a physics major when the full BS degrees requirements do not fit a students schedule or interest.
