Physics Program
A BS in Physics can be the start of an exciting and high paying career in a wide range of fields:
- Astrophysics
- Medicine
- Dentistry
- Engineering
- Teaching
In addition to offering one of the best equipped, strongest and most active physics programs of any undergraduate institution in the US, Tarleton's physics degree offers the undergraduate student:
- unique research opportunities
- unique physics and nuclear engineering courses
- unique degree plans
- academic scholarships of up to $9000 a year
Since more Physics PhD's obtained their BS degree in Physics at an undergraduate institution than at a large research institution like UT or A&M and a physics education from Tarleton cost less than a degree from a private school, A&M or UT., a physics degree from Tarleton makes both academic and economical sense.
