the program was established for the following reasons

• Awareness of the importance of applied sciences and the increasing need for them in most recent developments.
• Providing the community with distinguished researchers in the field of physics in line with great development in this field.
• Enabling students to find suitable jobs in Al-Baha area.
• Meeting the requirements of job market in the field of physics.
•  Meeting the requirements of development and the vision of the Kingdom 2030 in the basic sciences in general and in physics in particular.

Moreover, The mission of the program is in line with the mission of the university. The mission of the program is to prepare scientifically qualified graduates to develop the surrounding environment and meet the needs of the job market in the Kingdom in which covering the requirements of economic and social development. These are the main points on which the mission of faculty and university are based

• Providing the student with basic principles, concepts and modern theories of physical phenomena

• Providing students with balanced skills in different areas of physics (experimental, theoretical, computational and computer).

• Instilling professional and ethical behavior, effective communication skills, and teamwork skills

• preparing physicists able to compete in research, applied and professional fields to meet the requirements of the community and the job market and in line with the vision of the Kingdom 2030
