The physical science degree is less specialized than the physics major, and therefore more adaptable to studies in various fields, including preparation for teaching at the middle or secondary school level.

Requirements for the Bachelor’s Degree


A bachelor’s degree requires a total of 120 units. Students must fulfill General Education & All-University Requirements , residency, unit, and GPA requirements as outlined in the Bachelor’s Degree Requirements . This major does not include a Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) certified course. Students must take a GWAR certified writing intensive course to fulfill the requirement. 

Requirements for the Major (57 Units)


A minimum grade of C- is required for all courses with the “PHYX” prefix for the physical science major.
