Bachelor of Science
The undergraduate program in Physics is designed to provide students with a thorough and flexible training in the fundamental aspects of classical and modern physics. Lecture material is reinforced and complemented by closely integrated laboratory work, and the varied course offerings provide several options from which students may choose according to their interests and abilities.
Physics students can either obtain a bachelor’s degree in Physics or a bachelor’s degree in Physics with a specialization in Solar Energy.
The Solar Energy specialization is in alignment with both national and international trends that emphasize the importance of renewable energy in general and solar energy in particular. While retaining the fundamentals of the conventional degree in Physics, this specialization provides students with basic and applied knowledge in the solar energy field.
Declaration of the Physics Major
Students accepted at AUC may either get admitted into their preferred major at the time of admission to the university (declare their major at the gate) or get admitted to the university as undeclared. Students who get admitted into a major will still have the opportunity to change their major later. Students must declare a major before completing 60 credit hours (before achieving a junior standing). Please check the eligibility criteria for declaring the Physics major below.
Eligibility Criteria for Physics Major Declaration at the Gate
The eligibility criteria for students who wish to apply to declare their major from the gate, with the declaration effective in the fall 2026 semester or the spring 2027 semester, can be accessed through the link below. Admission to the major is based on the program’s student capacity.
