Yes, there are several strong undergraduate options in the US for students interested in physics and mathematics after 12th grade.

Popular courses include:
- BS in Physics: Focuses on fundamental physical principles, with options to specialize in areas like astrophysics or computational physics.
- BS in Mathematics: Covers mathematical theory and applications, preparing for fields like data analysis or finance.
- BS in Physics and Mathematics: Combines both subjects for a strong analytical foundation.
- BS in Mathematical Sciences: Offers applied mathematics and data science components.
- BS in Physics with Secondary Education: For those interested in teaching physics at the secondary level.

Typical admission requirements include completion of 12th grade with strong marks in physics and math, standardized test scores (SAT/ACT, though some universities are test-optional), English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS), transcripts, recommendations, and personal statements.
