University Majors

California State University, Northridge
Physics B.A.

Perhaps the most fundamental of all sciences, physics provides a background for understanding other scientific disciplines as well as many aspects of everyday life. Physics principles are crucial to such diverse applications as home electrical wiring, the motion of a rocket or skydiver, solar energ y, and an echocardiogram of the human heart.
Thus, understanding physics helps us make sense of our world. The B.A. Program in Physics is designed for students seeking a broad foundation in Physics as part of a liberal education in the arts and sciences. It is particularly appropriate for those students 1) seeking a secondary teaching career, or 2) planning to combine physics with other disciplines such as music, law, and business.
