About This Programme

The Professional Physics Concentration of the Bachelor of Science in Physics is offered through the College of Basic and Applied Science at MTSU. The Professional Physics concentration offers preparation for graduate work in physics, medical physics, astrophysics, or engineering. MTSU's physics majors started out in pursuit of a different degree (in recording industry, pre-medicine, music, etc.) only to discover that it was the physics of it all that fascinated them. Physics may take them on a different road back to their original interest—a career as a medical physicist, for example.

Physics majors may pick from one of four different concentrations. The physics core consists of 25 semester hours of physics and astronomy and gets all Physics and Astronomy majors on a level playing field and sets you up to pursue any concentration.
