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.

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.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
