Opportunities abound! The Department of Physics at Oregon State University offers degree programs leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree or Bachelor of Arts Degree in Physics within the College of Science. The Bachelor of Science Degree in Engineering Physics has been replaced with the Applied Physics option in our program. An interdisciplinary degree in Computational Physics is replaced by the Computational Physics option. Many other options within the Physics degree are available, and we also offer a minor in Physics. |
| Our undergraduate program provides a modern approach to physics and a variety of interactive class formats. Paradigms in Physics, the junior year sequence, is a series of nine 3-week courses based on central concepts in Physics. Capstones in Physics is the senior-year program, designed to help students consolidate, broaden, and deepen their understanding of the subjects introduced in the junior year. Undergraduate research is an essential component of the curriculum. All students do a senior thesis research project under the direct supervision of a faculty member. The thesis constitutes the writing-intensive component of the major for Physics majors and some Engineering Physics majors.
