Physics - BA/MA

This special program for a limited number of well qualified students leads to a bachelor of arts and a master of arts degree. Students are offered the opportunity to quickly reach a level where they are competitive for admission into any doctoral program in physics. The program requires 124-126 credits (including the 30 credits required for a physics major BA degree and 30 credits from the graduate curriculum). Because this program requires a large number of physics courses, many of which have other physics courses as prerequisites, students in this program should begin taking physics courses in their first or second semester. Students should consult with the department chair, undergraduate adviser or graduate adviser for details as early as possible.
