BSc or BA (120 credit hour) Double Major in Physics and another subject

The Double Major degree program allows students to combine a study of Physics with another subject. The other subject may be any discipline from the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Computer Science or the College of Sustainability. Physics may be the primary subject (defined as the subject with the larger number of credits), or the secondary subject. If the primary subject area is from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the degree granted will be a BA.

It is recommended that students enrolled in a Double Major program consult with advisors in both subject areas.

A Co-op option is available for students enrolled in BSc Double Major with Physics as the primary subject.
