Engineering Physics
B.S. in Engineering Physics The Engineering Physics major blends physics with real-world applications in science and engineering. It prepares you for advanced study in physics, engineering, or related scientific fields. Additionally, it equips you for careers in a broad range of technical and professional settings. The curriculum offers a strong foundation in physics deeper than what most standard engineering programs provide. This solid grounding in basic science helps students quickly adapt to new topics, technologies, and techniques throughout their careers.…
Physics
B.A. in Physics The B.A. in Physics offers a strong and rigorous foundation in the core principles of physics. The program builds sharp analytical thinking, creative problem-solving skills, and broad practical training in modern science and technology. As a result, students gain a versatile skill set that prepares them for advanced study, industry roles, or teaching at the secondary level. Because physics emphasizes logical reasoning and clear analysis, graduates also enter fields such as computer programming, business, finance, law,…
Physics (Minor)
Minor in Physics A minor in Physics is a great way to demonstrate an interest in and aptitude for a challenging STEM field and deepen your knowledge of fundamental science. In recent years, students majoring in programs as diverse as Computer Science and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology have taken minors in Physics. At Otterbein, the Physics Minor consists of the year-long lecture/lab sequence in general physics, plus PHYS 2700 – Modern Physics and two additional elective courses. Course Catalog > Programs in…
Physics Degree with Secondary Teaching Licensure
Physics Degree with Secondary Teaching Licensure Adding a Secondary Teaching Licensure component to your physics major prepares you for teaching physics at the secondary level (grades 7-12). See the Department of Education site for requirements for students seeking licensure in physics. Students must meet both the requirements for a B.A. in Physics and the requirements for teacher licensure. To be recommended for licensure a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or better, have a 2.5 grade point…
