Bachelor of Science Degree in Physics

Five-year co-op option

Drexel University has long been known for its prestigious co-operative education programs, through which students alternate periods of full-time career-related employment with their classroom studies.

Four-year non co-op option

The physics degree can also be completed in four years without co-op employment. Students are not required to pursue studies during any of the summer terms. Students in this non co-op track may elect to take one six-month period of co-op employment during the spring and summer terms of their junior year.

Recommended Plan of Study

Five year co-op (schedule A - matriculated in even year)

Five year co-op (schedule B - matriculated in odd year)

Four year non co-op (schedule A - matriculated in even year)

Four year non co-op (schedule B - matriculated in odd year)

Requirements

Students are required to complete a minimum of 185 credits. Students are also required to take either PHYS 227 (Instrumentation II), or both PHYS 306 and PHYS 307 (Computational Lab) courses.

Dual Degree Bachelor's Programs

With careful planning, students can complete two full degrees in the time usually required to complete one. The double major option works best in closely related areas. This option gives sudents an overview of mutiple disciplines and increases the value of each degree. It offers the students this amazing breadth of knowledge that graduate schools and employers seek.  The students may elect to pursue research in each topic separately or in integrated projects.
