Wayne State University

The bachelor of science (B.S.) in physics program at Wayne State gives students a deep foundation of knowledge and problem-solving ability on which they can build a variety of careers. 

Many of our physics students are oriented toward basic/general or applied research, but others have pursued careers in teaching, medicine, and engineering. Physics majors benefit from a wide range of opportunities to become involved with the vigorous research programs in the department; they also benefit from the many interdisciplinary academic programs available at Wayne State University.

Thanks to our small student/faculty ratio, physics majors are assured of unusually close interaction with their teachers and mentors. Although the B.S. in physics program is primarily targeting students interested in graduate studies in physics, it also satisfies the requirements of industrial and government employers who demand a traditional education in physics.
