Wanting to get an Online Bachelor's Degree in Physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the possibility of obtaining an online bachelor's degree in physics, particularly for individuals in countries with low rankings in natural sciences education. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the specific entry requirements for online programs, including any potential in-person obligations such as exams or lab work. Concerns are raised about the limitations of an exclusively online education, including the lack of hands-on experience in labs, networking opportunities, and the overall university experience. The conversation highlights the need for prospective students to carefully evaluate their options and consider the implications of pursuing an online degree in physics.

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.
