    Physics: Business & Technology,


    BA
    Physics and astronomy are fundamental sciences aimed at discovering the basic
    principles that govern our universe. Physicists study the interplay between space, time,
    matter, and energy. Complex behavior in nature is explained in terms of elementary
    relations between constituent elements and the forces that bind them, over distances
    ranging from subatomic to cosmic scale. Astronomy encompasses the entire physical
    universe beyond the earth: the solar system, stars, galaxies, galaxy clusters and
    superclusters, quasars, and the large-scale structure of the universe. The basic tools in
    physics and astronomy are mathematics and experimental investigation and observation
    of the world around us.

    At Penn, the curriculum for undergraduate Physics majors, which includes extensive
    laboratory experience, is based on faculty strengths in Condensed Matter Physics,
    Elementary Particle Physics, and Astrophysics. Undergraduate teaching is linked to faculty
    research efforts in these areas, and participation by undergraduates in research is
    strongly encouraged.

    This concentration is particularly appropriate for students whose ultimate goal is a career
    in modern industry involving both technical and managerial components. A student
    choosing this concentration will have a solid background in Physics, be comfortable with
    electronics and computers, and have some appreciation of modern business methods
    and economics.

    The minimum total course units for graduation in this major is 36. Double majors may
    entail more course units.
