Wanting to get an Online Bachelor's Degree in Physics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Obtaining an online bachelor's degree in physics is feasible, even for individuals in countries with low education rankings in natural sciences. Prospective students must carefully evaluate the entry requirements of online programs and understand the implications of "online" education, including potential in-person commitments for exams and labs. While online degrees offer flexibility, they may lack critical components of traditional university experiences, such as hands-on lab skills and networking opportunities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of online education platforms and their accreditation
  • Knowledge of physics curriculum requirements
  • Familiarity with entry requirements for online degree programs
  • Awareness of the importance of laboratory skills in physics education
NEXT STEPS
  • Research accredited online physics programs and their specific entry requirements
  • Investigate the implications of online learning versus traditional classroom experiences
  • Explore resources for developing laboratory skills remotely
  • Connect with current students or alumni of online physics programs for insights
USEFUL FOR

Individuals considering an online bachelor's degree in physics, educational consultants, and anyone evaluating the effectiveness of online versus traditional physics education.

Can I get an online bachelor in physics because I live in a country with law education rank in natural sciences
 
Physics news on Phys.org
What country? What language? What is your budget? What are your post-degree plans?

I suspect the OP meant to say "low" education rank in natural sciences.

I interpret it to mean that the OP is concerned that they will not get an adequate education in physics if they attend a local university and so, is exploring other options.

To the OP:
There are, of course, online options at many schools, but you'll need to look specifically at their entry requirements to figure out if you need anything additional to what you've already completed to qualify. You'll also have to look closely at what "online" means and if there are any requirements that will require you to appear in person (exams, labs, etc).

Something to consider strongly is that even if you do find an option that works, there are elements to a university education that you're likely to loose out on from an exclusively online program... skills in a lab and experience in experimental methods, a network of academic contacts, a network of friends in physics, university study space, the university social experience, etc.
