"Physics is the kind of major no one quite gets – very few people outside of the scientific field know exactly what a physics degree is or what a physics major does," the editors of Bachelor's Degree Hub write; "But for students who are interested in careers in the hard sciences, engineering, education, or any number of other technological fields, a bachelor's in physics is an excellent first step." A degree in physics can open up career opportunities in a multitude of directions, "such as engineering and medicine. Jobs with a degree in physics can be found in healthcare, too. Roles in this sector are varied, ranging from laboratory technician to optical engineer." Places of employment are just as varied: "A variety of jobs that are physics degree-oriented are research-based. These positions can be found in the public sector, such as in government agencies and public universities. Private-sector employment is also available at private universities and companies involved in everything from telecommunications to the automotive industry." A degree in physics can take physics majors almost anywhere - literally and figuratively.

Bachelor's Degree Center editors rank both online and on-campus programs, knowing that students' needs are as diverse as the students themselves. As the editors explain, "Instead of applying to an undergraduate program for four years and going onto a master's program, the accelerated physics degree allows you to transcend from one to the next in less time." On the other hand, BDC editors counsel, "a person can choose to earn a physics degree online in his or her free time around his or her other responsibilities." Every student brings their own priorities to their degree, and Bachelor's Degree Center's rankings of the best physics degrees are designed to give prospective psychology students the most diverse set of options possible.

Bachelor's Degree Center has been providing advice, resources, and rankings on the best traditional and online bachelor's degree programs since 2014. Completely independent and unbiased, BDC is working to be the ultimate resource for new high school graduates, working adults returning to school, and nontraditional students.
