BSc. Physics - Physics Teaching

The Physics Teaching Concentration of the Bachelor of Science in Physics is offered through the College of Basic and Applied Science at MTSU. The Physics Teaching concentration offers preparation for careers as physics teachers, as well as serving as an appropriate degree path for other physics majors who do not plan to attend graduate school. Physics goes with everything. That may be one reason so many of 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.

Career Path

There's almost no field of endeavor that doesn't have some part of it touched by physics. Not surprisingly, a B.S. in Physics can be that first step to any number of diverse careers! Examples include Acoustics researcher, Architect , Astronomer , Astrophysicist , Design engineer , Doctor , High school physics teacher , Laser engineer , Medical physicist , Naval mine warfare analyst, Naval mine warfare analyst , Patent attorney , Process engineer , Pilot , Semiconductor engineer , Software developer.
