classes during the first two years and must complete the same list of core upper-level courses during their second two years, but permits a variety of choices in upper-level electives. By the end of the four years, they share an understanding of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics, and have acquired physics lab skills that will support them in graduate school or in a host of other pursuits.</p> <p>Full requirements and a sample program of study for the BA and BS degrees are available on the <a href="http://e-catalogue.jhu.edu/departments-program-requirements-and-courses/arts-sciences/physics-astronomy/#undergraduateprogramstext">online academic catalog</a>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Physics</h2> <p>In addition to the core courses, students working toward a BA take at least two more elective courses at the 300 level or above. These courses must be in the Department of Physics and Astronomy or from a list of approved physics-related courses in other departments.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Physics</h2> <p>This program is designed to supplement the core physics courses with a concentration at an advanced level in a scientific or engineering discipline.</p> <p>The total number of credits required for the BS is 126, rather than 120. The required core course work in physics is the same as for the BA, as are the mathematics requirements. However, the two electives required for the BA are replaced by five courses at the 200 level or above (at least 3 credits each). These must be in the departments of physics and astronomy, biology, biophysics, neuroscience, chemistry, cognitive science, earth and planetary sciences, or mathematics, or in any of the departments of the Whiting School of Engineering. At least four must be taken within a single science department (including physics and astronomy) of the Krieger School, or within a single department or program of the School of Engineering. Considered as a whole, these courses must constitute a coherent and rigorous program of study, one that is approved as such by the student’s faculty adviser.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Requirements for 4-year Bachelor and Masters Degrees in Physics</h2> <p>Under exceptional circumstances, Physics majors may apply to pursue a Masters Degree in Physics while completing the requirements for their Bachelors degree.</p> <p>This option is available only to current JHU undergraduates, who must apply to the Masters program no later than the end of the fall semester of their junior year and must complete the degree within the regular four-year duration of the undergraduate program. Details on the application procedure and Masters Degree requirements can be found in the <a href="https://physics-astronomy.jhu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2022/08/RulesRequirements_BAMA2.pdf">Requirements for Four-year Bachelor/Masters in Physics</a>.</p> </div> </article> </main>   <div data-rocket-location-hash="f49eafdeb0fac80c63eb88adef00651c" class="undergraduate-sidebar sidebar container prose sm:prose lg:prose-lg mx-auto mt-4 lg:mt-8"> </div> <div data-rocket-location-hash="f49d6120fb50a274b5cc8e8e8c194a60" class="footer-widget-area mt-12 relative bg-[url('../images/community-white-on-288.svg')] bg-no-repeat bg-[length:450px] bg-right w-full bg-blue px-6 py-10 md:grid md:gap-x-[calc(2_*_1rem)] md:grid-cols-2 lg:grid-cols-3 after:content-[''] after:table after:clear-both"> <aside id="text-10" class="widget widget_text"><div class="widget-wrapper"><h2 class="widget-title text-2xl font-semi font-semibold">Department Resources</h2> <div class="textwidget"><ul> <li><a href="https://livejohnshopkins.sharepoint.com/sites/PhysicsAstronomyDepartmentResources/">Department intranet</a></li> </ul> </div> </div></aside> </div> <footer data-rocket-location-hash="de68c8e28aeafcddf3710e830f482235" class="site-footer bg-old-black text-white mt-20 border-t-1 border-grey-darkest relative"> <div class="bottom-auto top-0 left-0 right-0 w-full absolute pointer-events-none overflow-hidden -mt-20 bg-blue " style="height: 80px" > <svg alt="" class="absolute -bottom-px overflow-hidden" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" preserveAspectRatio="none" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 2560 100" x="0" y="0" > <polygon class="text-old-black fill-old-black" points="2560 0 2560 100 0 100" ></polygon> </svg> </div> <div data-rocket-location-hash="22516a836cde2f3cb6332ebad37c9799" class="py-6 px-4 grid grid-cols-1 sm:grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-4"> <h2 class="sr-only">Footer</h2> <div data-rocket-location-hash="c31b08d692ddeeaa715cdc7f4de7f29a" class="col-span-4 lg:col-span-2 m-2 mt-6 lg:ml-6"> <h3 class="text-xl font-sans !font-light"><div class="sr-only">Address:</div> William H.
