Bachelor of Science in Physics

at Susquehanna University USA

Do you dream of working at a publishing house, indie magazine or scholarly journal? Then our publishing and editing major is for you.

You won’t find this kind of program at any other liberal arts colleges — or at many far larger colleges either. We offer one of the only publishing majors in the nation.

Publishing is all about connecting. Writers and readers. Art and business. Traditional and new technologies. Gain the knowledge and skills to navigate these interconnections, and reflect on the:

• Cultural role of publishing
• History of the book
• Implications of the shift to digital publishing

Our publishing and editing program is big enough that you’ll have access to a high-tech, dedicated lab and eight department student publications, and small enough that you’ll get hands-on, personalized attention from faculty. Our students have even helped produce a professional publication, which saw two pieces nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

As a marketer, you’ll have the ability to measure and read the pulse of the market — so you can help deliver what customers want while meeting the goals of your organization.

Susquehanna’s courses, experiences and faculty mentoring will prepare you for success.

We guarantee international internships for all business students. We have students who intern in dynamic cities such as London, Barcelona, Tokyo, Hamburg and many more. We also have internship partnerships at top organizations in the U.S., where experience can give you the edge before graduation.

In our program, you’ll learn to understand your consumers and evaluate competitors, make decisions on product development and determine distribution strategies. You’ll have a solid foundation of marketing basics, including market research, market segmentation, consumer behavior, digital marketing, pricing strategies and marketing communications.

Mathematics is the study of patterns: from the distribution of prime numbers to the distribution of galaxies, from to shapes of soap films to the structure of musical compositions, and far beyond. Because of its combination of generality and precision, mathematics is integral to most areas of modern life, from the sciences to business, politics, and even the arts.

Fall in love with language all over again as a French major or minor at Susquehanna.

Courses are taught in French so you’ll become proficient and comfortable speaking and writing as you earn your degree.

You’ll sharpen those skills through fun activities and clubs on campus and by studying abroad through our Global Opportunities program.

Majors can study in semester-long programs in a French city, while minors can also choose from shorter programs restoring a medieval castle or learning language and culture in the French countryside. Adding one of our interdisciplinary minors like applied linguistics and international studies help you gain a better understanding of important topics in today’s world.

History may take inspiration from the past, but here you do history.

Scour primary sources. Excel at organizing, scheduling and keeping notes. Develop a research project that will lead to graduate school or a promising career right after graduation. Travel to conferences to present your work. Explore local historical sites. Work both with antique sources and the latest digital technology.

Debate issues from various perspectives. Find your place in the world while acquiring 21st-century skills relevant to many careers.

History majors are preparing to:

• Practice law
• Direct financial institution
• Work in higher education
• Teach
• Pursue graduate degrees
• Work in museums
• Run a company

Majors work towards the development of a cohesive body of work that demonstrates a distinctive personal style. The program emphasizes the mastery of a broad range of fundamental skills, with a focused experience in one technique or medium. Majors are well versed in historical and contemporary art, and are given numerous opportunities to exhibit their work, travel, and receive feedback from faculty and peers.

Prior to graduation, students will professionally mount a public exhibition of the work in The Lore Degenstein Gallery, where they will gain experience in a professional gallery with museum standards.

Required independent coursework and a cross-disciplinary approach allow students to investigate and experiment with multiple ways of creating art. Students are encouraged and given ample time to develop a distinctive and personal visual style.

Thinking about medical school or other health professions? Our biomedical sciences major is for you!

This versatile program will fully prepare you for any health-related field. Focused on health sciences, it still leaves ample room for developing other interests that enhance your application to professional schools.

If you want to be a health care professional, you may also wish to consider biology, biochemistry, chemistry, neuroscience and psychology as they are great points of entry to a career in health care. Many academic majors will prepare you for admission to professional schools if you also complete the required pre-requisite courses.

Jump into a career as a biomedical researcher or continue your studies to work in health care as a:

• Physician (MD and DO)
• Dentist
• Veterinarian
• Optometrist
• Physical therapist
• Pharmacist
• Podiatrist

You’ll also be ready for graduate study programs in biomedicine — including cell and molecular biology, cancer biology, immunology or microbiology — and to work in biomedical research.

Contemplate the complex moral and ethical issues faced by humanity — existence, meaning, values, truth and more.

Open your eyes to ideas you didn’t even know existed. We take on the complex issues that are rarely discussed.

You’ll be well-versed in classical philosophical thinking on age-old questions, like does God exist? We’re one of few universities to connect that kind of thinking to contemporary issues. We were the first university in the nation with a philosophy class on HBO’s “The Wire.” You’ll also study love and desire, environmental ethics, hip hop and other contemporary topics from a philosophical standpoint.

Even more than thought-provoking classes and great job opportunities, studying philosophy will help you understand yourself and lead a full and satisfying life.

Our economics department consistently ranks as one of the top liberal arts economics departments for research by the Federal Reserve.

The research training you receive here will show prospective employers in any field that you know how to solve problems. Using cutting-edge approaches, you’ll conduct both extensive examinations of policy-related problems and quick analyses to get the gist of an issue.

You’ll complete at least one major research project and have the chance to present your research at conferences on campus and on the national stage.

Studying literature gives you the analytical tools and writing skills employers in any industry covet.

At Susquehanna, you’ll harness the power of language, while learning to express yourself with style and grace.

From studying forms of writing to analyzing Shakespeare, every class you take builds toward a senior capstone project-modeled on grad school programs-that challenges you to think more deeply about your past four years.

You’ll have ample opportunities to publish your own work and contribute to eight department-focused student publications. Creative outlets on campus for literature majors include the Literature Club or the Comic Book Club.
