The physics B.S. program gives a broad background in the fundamental concepts and applications of physics. This background is appropriate for further study in graduate school, or for scientific employment in physics or physics-related fields.
Students in this program may pursue a four-year physics degree or they may choose the "three-two" option.
Transfer students must take a minimum of 8 credit hours of upper-division courses, including PHY 410, in the Buffalo State Physics Department.
"Three-Two" Physics Engineering Option
This program offers an ideal combination of basic and applied science. Students in the Cooperative ("Three-Two") Physics-Engineering program attend Buffalo State for three years pursuing a liberal arts curriculum in physics. After three years, students in good standing transfer to the engineering school of their choice and complete the requirements for an engineering degree in two more years. Engineering schools to which students in the program have transferred in the last two years include Binghamton University and the University at Buffalo (both SUNY universities), and Clarkson University.
Admission Requirements
Mathematics preparation through precalculus is required.
