OVERVIEW

An integrative field which has led to many of the world's greatest scientific and 技术的发现, physics is a rewarding major offering diverse career 机会.

The physics program at Baldwin Wallace is a 全面的 and versatile program with dedicated faculty vested in your personal and professional success.

The major offers flexibility. You can earn a bachelor's degree or follow a Pre-Engineering 3/2 format that enables you to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree from BW and a Bachelor of Science degree from an engineering school.

It features small class sizes and individual attention. Coupled with rigorous studies and extensive laboratory 的经历, the program offers excellent preparation for 研究生 studies and employment.

Mathematics and science courses provide a strong foundation for learning to address topics and questions in a systematic way. You'll employ logic, theory and creativity to solve complex problems.

Lectures, 实验室, internships and independent studies enable you to explore physics principles and their 应用程序. You'll be both challenged and intrigued as you probe real-world topics.

In the lab, you'll have access to equipment that enables you to gain a 全面的 study of 计算 physics, electronics, modern physics, energy conversion, optics and more.

最先进的 STEM Center

BW's Knowlton Center provides students with innovative learning experiences in 工程、数学, computer science and physics that will enable them to explore 网络安全、 artificial 情报, 数学 modeling and simulation, robotics and optics while connecting with industry leaders.

CAREER 机会

A bachelor's degree in physics can be a stepping stone to 研究生 education or can lead directly to a career in a variety of fields, including:

Engineering
Research and development
Technology
Acoustics
Medicine
Law
Teaching
Finance and business fields

New Engineering Major

BW's new engineering major provides a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals - 数学, computing and basic sciences - with a liberal arts core that develops problem solving, critical thinking and 沟通 skills.

成为一名教师

Interested in Becoming a Science Teacher?

If you would like to become a science teacher, BW has an outstanding teacher education program.

Great for Grad School

Because it builds strong analytical, 解决问题 and 沟通 skills, physics offers excellent preparation for the entrance exams required for law, medicine, business, computer science and engineering schools as well as other disciplines. Students interested in these career areas can benefit from majoring or minoring in physics.

CURRICULUM

Physics is a 全面的 and rigorous program offered as a major and minor.

Through its study, you'll learn to think critically, to become rigorously grounded in fundamental scientific principles and to apply both disciplined and creative habits of inquiry to your work. You'll gain skills in analytical thinking, 解决问题, 定量 reasoning and 沟通.

Baldwin Wallace offers two types of degrees for physics majors:

The B.A. physics program is for students who want to 双学位 in physics and another area and probably won't pursue a career in physics. It allows maximum flexibility for students to pursue their interest in physics or astronomy and combine it with other academic interests - history, philosophy, music or another discipline.

The B.S. physics program is for students who plan a career in physics or a related field such as mathematics or engineering. BW graduates of this program can enter the workforce directly in the areas of physics, technology, engineering or other 科学相关 jobs. Many individuals attend graduate school in physics, chemistry, 工程、 medicine, urban planning or other areas.

Paths for Careers in Engineering

For decades, BW has been helping aspiring engineers prepare for their career field. BW offers the following pathways:

BW's General Engineering Major

Baldwin Wallace's new Bachelor of Science engineering major is a broad-based study that combines the rigor of science, mathematics and computing with the 沟通 and creative 解决问题 skills of a liberal arts-focused education. The major prepares you for a range of engineering jobs as well as for graduate school in a specialized area of engineering.

BW's Pre-Engineering Dual-Degree Program

Upon satisfactory completion of a three-year Pre-Engineering program in physics or chemistry at BW and an additional two years at an engineering school, students can receive a Bachelor of Arts from BW and Bachelor of Science from the engineering school. BW has an affiliation with Case Western Reserve University.

Software Engineering

Students interested in this in-demand career area can pursue software engineering at BW. Developed in coordination with leading software companies, the program teaches the mechanics of effective software engineering-programming, computer 应用程序, mathematics and database technology.

Other Pathways

Bachelor of Science in physics, chemistry, biology, computer science or mathematics at BW + graduate study at an engineering school
Bachelor of Science in physics at BW then employment at an engineering facility
An optional five-year BS/MBA program combines BW's engineering major with a minor in business 政府 and an MBA degree.

The physics major prepares students to:

Develop a knowledge of fundamental physics concepts and the ability to apply this knowledge to solve challenging problems
Demonstrate continuous improvement in 理解 of physics concepts and ability to solve qualitative and 定量 problems
Demonstrate the ability to perform laboratory and/or calculation based 调查, and the ability to discuss (in writing or otherwise) these 调查 and their historical context
