BA Physics

at University of Massachusetts - Boston

Learn the fundamentals of physics with an eye toward teaching.

UMass Boston's Physics BA is intended for those who hope to be instructors to future physics students. Physics majors must also take Multivariable Calculus (or Multivariable and Vector Calculus) and Applied Ordinary Differential Equations. A physics major may complete up to two courses in mathematics or cognate sciences at the advanced level in lieu of advanced physics electives, but prior approval of the department at least one semester before his or her expected graduation is required.
