The BA and BS programs develop versatile skills in theoretical and experimental physics that many employers in technologically oriented businesses and industry find attractive.

Because employers look for physics graduates with a solid background in experimental methods and the use of modern electronic equipment and computers, all programs stress individual attention from faculty and practical laboratory experience. Oswego's physics program offers many hands-on opportunities in the new Shineman Center through many labs and a working planetarium — as well as through sought-after internships and chances to study abroad in our Global Laboratory program.
