PHYSICS

 

A student interested in physics and any of its sub-disciplines like solid state, atomic, nuclear or elementary particle physics can obtain an Associate of Science with a program in physics by taking the prescribed course work at Abraham Baldwin College. A physics major can then transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor’s degree in physics. Double majors in physics and some engineering disciplines are also possible at the bachelor’s level. Physicists are employed, for example, in research and development, engineering technology, and the manufacture of modern devices.
