Undergraduate programs
If you're interested in Physics at the undergraduate level, you have a number of options, including a three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) with a major in Physics or a four-year BSc with Honours in Physics. Find out more about Dal's undergraduate programs in Physics and Atmospheric Science.
If you find Atmospheric Science appealing, you can choose to take classes with subjects focused on this area during your BSc. As well, you might consider doing the Diploma in Meteorology (DMet), which can be completed as part of a four-year BSc in Physics, or following the completion of a bachelor's degree in any science, math or other quantitative-based program.
