Physics 

Physics is the study of nature, from subatomic particles to the grand scale of the universe. USAO’s physics curriculum provides the student with a solid foundation in the major disciplines of physics. In addition, the physics major acquires strong problem solving abilities, critical thinking skills, laboratory and computational savvy and a mathematical dexterity which allows graduates to pursue a variety of careers upon graduation or continue on to graduate or professional school. 

A bachelor of science degree in physics is not only an outstanding preparatory degree for graduate work in physics or engineering but, in many cases, qualfies the graduate for entry-level engineering jobs. The physics major consistently ranks near the top of starting salaries for new graduates.

Physics has laid the groundwork for many advanced industries including computers, telecommunications, aerospace, lasers, and medical diagnostics. Physicists investigate many of the latest discoveries such as massive neutrinos, blue semiconductor lasers, high temperature superconductors, black holes, and our expanding universe.
