Our majors develop the skills to become great problem solvers, allowing them to excel when they enter the workforce. 物理学学位, 天文学, 和 工程 open the door to vast opportunities from industrial settings 和 government labs to schools 和 college campuses.

The skills that you develop at 体育菠菜大平台 can also provide opportunities to work in areas that you may not have expected such as in the business sector, with newspapers 和 magazines, at telescope observatories, 甚至是华尔街. 学生 who major in these fields make desirable c和idates anywhere that problem-solving 和 analytical skills are valued (everywhere!).

"I feel very supported by 体育菠菜大平台, 和 the International Office has really helped me. 在来美国之前.S., I was able to talk to many people which made it easy for me to decide on 体育菠菜大平台. That support has been continuous 和 is one of the reasons why I have been able to successfully complete my first three years. The quality of education is really good. Smaller classes have allowed me to ask questions 和 get the help I need to be successful. What st和s out to me is the great connections I have with 体育菠菜大平台 faculty. I hope to attend graduate school, 和 体育菠菜大平台 is preparing me 和 giving me support during the application process. Overall, I have grown personally 和 academically 和 feel prepared for my career after I graduate."
