The physics department offers several programs leading to a BS:

• Physics
• Astrophysics
• Radiation Biology

In addition, the department offers post-baccalaureate certificates in Radiation Therapy and Medical Dosimetry.

There are several categories of requirements: (1) general requirements for all undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences, (2) core requirements of the major, (3) complementary requirements selected by the physics department, and (4) free electives.

A transfer student must see the chair of the department to determine which courses may be accepted for credit toward requirements of the physics major. A minimum of 16 hours of the core requirements must be taken at Suffolk University.
