Undergraduate Physics Degree Overview

In addition to its technology-focused curriculum and state-of-the-art laboratories, Georgia Tech’s B.S. in Physics degree program offers several key advantages: 

A minor in physics is intended to provide an in-depth study of physics to non-physics majors entering into a global and diverse workforce where a multidisciplinary science and engineering background is increasingly common. It will also serve those students who, through elective physics course studies, have developed a greater interest in the discipline, or who plan to enter graduate school in an area where a strong physics background is useful.

The Minor in Philosophy focuses on science and technology. The courses are intended to enable Georgia Tech students to reflect on the nature of their disciplines and to focus their understanding on the context of their lives as professionals and citizens. The Philosophy minor is best for students who wish to concentrate coursework in the field of philosophy.

People depend on you to keep their workplaces safe—so when it’s time to earn your master’s degree, you shouldn’t have to leave your job to do it. The Professional Master’s in Occupational Safety and Health (PMOSH) is launching a new class of leaders into high-level OSH positions. It's your opportunity to elevate your career with a top-notch education from a prestigious university—all in just two years.

Focus: advancing knowledge and research in areas such as mathematical optimization; stochastic and probabilistic methods; statistical modeling and analysis; design and analysis of algorithms; and computational and numerical methods.

Focus: advancing study and research emphasizing topics such as deterministic optimization, probabilistic models and their applications, simulation, and mathematical statistics.

Georgia Tech's Doctor of Philosophy with a major in Ocean Science and Engineering is an interdisciplinary graduate program that combines the basic and applied sciences with innovative ocean technologies.

Focus: providing students with the basic principles of nuclear engineering, nuclear reactor core design, reactor systems engineering, nuclear power economics, reactor operations, radiation sources and detection instruments, radiation transport, radiation protection, criticality safety, regulatory requirements, and radioactive materials management.

The Nuclear and Radiological Engineering and Health Physics Program of the Woodruff School offers a certificate and a minor in Nuclear & Radiological Engineering to non-NRE engineering students.

These programs provide a general knowledge of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering topics and are valuable for students considering graduate work in Nuclear Engineering or Medical Physics.
