Augsburg offers a choice of three degree programs in physics: Bachelor of Arts in Physics, Bachelor of Science in Physics, and Bachelor of Science in Space Physics. In addition to these required and elective courses, physics majors normally complement their program with extensive study of mathematics and with courses in computer science and/or another science, leading to a minor or second major. Internships and independent study courses are also available for credit. The following table lists the courses required for each physics major:
