Highlights

  • Physics is the study of the natural world emphasizing an understanding of phenomena in terms of fundamental interactions and basic laws.
  • As such, physics underlies all of the natural sciences and pervades contemporary approaches to the study of the universe (astronomy and astrophysics), living systems (biophysics and neuroscience), chemistry (chemical physics), and earth systems (geophysics and environmental science)
  • The core physics program provides a course of study for those who are interested in physics as a liberal arts major, with career plans in diverse fields such as engineering, law, medicine, business and education.
  • Students who wish to major in Physics are required to complete the following coursework:
  • An introduction to the core physics concepts of mechanics (PHYS 123 or 116), electromagnetism (PHYS 124 or 117), oscillations and waves (PHYS 125), relativity and quantum mechanics (PHYS 225), and statistical mechanics (PHYS 230 or CHEM 361).
  • One advanced course in laboratory or observational techniques (PHYS 226 or ASTR 337)
