Global Achievement Academy 2 University Integration - Bachelor of Arts - Physics - Information Technology/Data Science

Global Achievement Academy 2 – University Integration at University of Central Florida (UCF) is a two-semester program that:

• Helps international students transition academically and culturally.
• Prepares students for academic success in U.S. higher learning.
• Provides a firsthand understanding of life on the UCF campus.
• Earns students a minimum of 21 credits in their program.
• Offers additional academic tutoring and English-language support.

The Department of Physics offers a multi-track program of study leading to a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and a Bachelor of Science in Physics degrees, giving students the flexibility to choose a suitable set of courses to prepare for their career goals. A common core of courses in theoretical and experimental physics will lead to a broad understanding of the general principles of physics. The different tracks allow students to specialize, applying problem-solving techniques in a certain area of interest; this also enhances their qualifications for employment in that area after graduation.

After graduation the students are prepared to enter advanced study in physics, engineering, medicine, environmental sciences, astronomy, and other related disciplines. They are also prepared to begin careers in positions are varied as engineering physics, computational physics, and physics education. Undergraduate physics majors benefit from small class sizes, and are encouraged to be involved in individually designed senior projects working with a faculty advisor.
