About the Bachelor of Science in Physics Degree
Why Study Physics at Cedarville?
If you have a love for both mathematics and the sciences, Cedarville’s distinctly Christian B.S. in physics degree may be a good fit for you. Physics is the study of the physical universe with the goal of understanding it conceptually and modeling it mathematically.
As part of your physics major, you will study the foundational principles of classical mechanics, thermal physics, electromagnetic theory, and quantum mechanics. A yearlong lab sequence develops your ability to perform, document, and design physically significant experiments. Elective coursework allows you to gain additional understanding in astrophysics, acoustics, and computational physics. Woven throughout the coursework are opportunities to ponder the significance of the Creator’s handiwork. You will be challenged to apply this understanding in daily living and service to others.
