Programs Which Distance Learning Degree Best Prepares for Postgrad Physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the pursuit of a physics degree through distance learning due to work commitments. The individual is considering three degree options: a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in math/physics from Ellis College, a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and a Bachelor of Science in Software Engineering. The conversation highlights the importance of aligning the chosen degree with future academic goals, particularly for postgraduate studies in physics. Recommendations suggest that a focus on physics/math combined with computer science may be beneficial, depending on whether the studies are intended for leisure or professional application.

After taking some courses in math and physics through my work I have become very interested in getting a degree in physics. Problem is I can’t commit to traditional classes at a university because of my work schedule. I am looking at distance learning as a possibility and need to know which one would be best (if any) for continuing on for a post grad degree in physics. These are the degrees I am considering

A BS of Interdisciplinary Studies, concentration on math/physics from Ellis College N.Y
A BS Computer science
Or BS Software engineering

Any help or advice would be great thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
depends on if your looking to study for leisure or to use it in your job?
If your looking at dist learning over a couple of years...maybe look into
phys/math and compsci.
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
