Physics (B.A., B.S.)

Provides the knowledge and skills desired by a variety of industrial employers and graduate schools. Students may study nuclear physics, astrophysics, applied physics and laser physics using state-of-the-art equipment. The Bachelor of Arts is more limited in scope than the Bachelor of Science degree and is usually combined with an engineering degree (see Engineering and Liberal Arts). Minors are offered in physics and in electronics.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technology (B.S.)

Prepares students to apply current engineering practices to communications control and electronics manufacturing. Technologists are typically involved in product development, manufacturing, quality control or sales. The five-year program is structured so students serve two seven-month paid apprenticeships. This arrangement means students pay tuition for only four years. Reflecting Bloomsburg's close relationship with the electronics industry, the curriculum has been shaped with input from industry leaders who serve on the program's advisory board.

Engineering Science 3+2 (B.A)

Enables students to pursue a career in engineering while experiencing the broader scope of a Bloomsburg University education. This cooperative program of study leads to two baccalaureate degrees, one in Science and Technology awarded by Bloomsburg University and one in an area of engineering from either The Pennsylvania State University or Wilkes University. Candidates spend three years at Bloomsburg followed by two years at Penn State or Wilkes.

Health Physics (B.S.)

The profession is devoted to protecting people and their environment from potential radiation hazards. The program provides a foundation of courses in physics, mathematics, chemistry and biology, as well as specialized courses in health physics. Modern laboratories introduce students to state-of-the-art instrumentation and advanced techniques of measurement.
