Bachelor of Science in Physics - Computer Science

University of Dayton - Shorelight

By combining significant coursework from the Department of Computer Science while maintaining the integrity of a degree in physics, a physics-computer science major receives a high-quality academic education by participating in hands-on learning opportunities and conducting a rigorous research experience mentored by physics or computer science faculty. A student will work one-on-one with faculty, as well as with an exceptionally strong community of majors. Primarily a physics major, the curriculum includes more classes in the Department of Computer Science than the traditional physics major. This experience produces a powerful combination of training for students seeking admission to a graduate program or a position in the private sector. Even with the expanded course work in computer science, our students complete the course requirements in four years.
