What Can I Do with a Physics Major?

Boise State Career Services has identified a tool to help students explore career options and strategies related to academic programs. When viewing a major/area of study, you can see typical career areas, types of jobs and employers, and strategies to prepare students for those career paths.

Use this tool if you are:

  • Exploring multiple majors or programs of study
  • Set on a major but unsure about your career options
  • Looking for information about how to tailor your college experience to your desired career
  • In a graduate program and exploring potential career directions

Note: The career areas provided are representative of typical career paths associated with the major/area of study. It is not a comprehensive list of all careers you could potentially pursue. It is also important to understand that your degree alone will not fully qualify you for many of these careers, some of which may require additional education, certifications, or specialized experiences.

Read Before Proceeding to Website

When you select the following button to proceed, you will be redirected to an external website called, What Can I Do With This Major. Therefore, the list of majors/areas of study you will see may differ from what is available at Boise State. Some of the listed majors are not offered at Boise State, and some are offered as minors, certificates, or pre-majors rather than as full majors or degrees. The vast majority of programs offered at Boise State do appear on this list, but be aware that some of the titles differ slightly from the Boise State program name.

The button below will take you directly to what you can do with a Physics major.
