UVI’s Physics program was founded in 2018. Students can earn a Bachelor of Science
in Physics with a concentration in Astronomy or Engineering. Students can also elect
to complete an Associates of Science in Physics. These programs give students a strong
foundation in physics and mathematics. Upon graduation, students can pursue studies
at graduate schools.
Students will have opportunities to conduct research at UVI and partner universities
or institutions. Students may also have opportunities to perform internships at local
agencies.
While entry level courses can be completed in either campus, degrees must be completed
on St. Thomas’ OEK campus.
