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.
