BS in Physics

The problem-solving skills learned through a BS with a major in Physics will provide you with the necessary scientific background and preparation for a wide variety of future career opportunities. Upon completing your undergraduate degree, you can either continue to graduate studies or to finding a physics-related job in industry or teaching. The interest in our undergraduate program is supported by the significant increase in the number of Physics majors over the past year. Currently, we enroll more than 110 undergraduate students, and, just during the past semester, the number of Physics freshman has doubled.
Marketable Skills
- Communication: Reach mutual understanding through the effective exchange of information, ideas, and feelings.
- Critical thinking: Analyze and evaluate issues in order to solve problems and develop informed opinions.
- Organization: Use resources effectively and efficiently in order to stay focused on different tasks.
- Problem-solving: Find solutions to difficult or complex issues.
- Be able to search, investigate and critically analyze information in response to a specific research question.
- Time management: Prioritize goals and organize time to be more productive and efficient.
Learning Outcomes
- Develop superior communication and scientific presentation skills.
- Develop critical thinking and the ability to apply basic physics principles to solve problems.
- Students should demonstrate knowledge of mathematical techniques used for understanding physics.
- Develop skills and competencies in advanced physics laboratory work.
Fast Track
The Fast-Track Program enables outstanding undergraduate UTEP students to receive both undergraduate and graduate credit for up to 15 hours of UTEP course work as determined by participating Master's and Doctoral programs. Not all undergraduate programs have elected to participate in the Fast Track option, so students should see their departmental graduate advisor for information about requirements and guidelines. A list of courses that have been approved for possible use at the graduate level is found here.
