A: Take a look at the undergraduate programs<\/a> and their respective requirements. Our department supports 4 undergraduate majors: BA, BA-Applied, BS, and the Physics Education major in conjunction with SEYS. Each major has different objectives and you can switch between them as well as into and out of the major quite easily. Once you are ready to declare your major, email the major advisor to say that you will be stopping by during office hours or to make an appointment.

However, it is easier to provide advising to you and it is beneficial for you to schedule your plan for coursework when you declare your major. Moreover, there are benefits via the physics club if you are a declared major (this varies depending on the officers in charge).

In addition, if you want to declare your major as BA-Applied, there are particular requirements. Please email the BA-Applied\/Pre-Engineering major advisor<\/a> to get additional information and ensure you\u2019ll be properly tracked.<\/p>\nQ: Is there any advantage to declaring my major as physics?<\/h4>\n
Q: I\u2019ve taken some math and physics classes at another college (either as a transfer student or for my first degree) yet I cannot enroll in classes via CUNYFirst because of prerequisite blocks.\u00a0 What should I do?<\/strong>

Q: There is a problem with Degreeworks.\u00a0 It says that I must take courses that are no longer available or no longer on the list of courses offered.\u00a0 What do I do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n
