Department of Physics and Astronomy

Andrew S. Ware, Chair

Physics is considered to be the most fundamental of all the disciplines in the natural sciences. In physics we try to describe and understand a myriad of physical phenomena ranging from subatomic to cosmological scales by quantifying the relationships among different physical quantities. Not only does physics have its own merit as a challenging but exciting scientific endeavor, it provides the basis for understanding underlying processes in astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, computer science, engineering, and even in behavioral sciences. Applications of physics are virtually unlimited: computers, communications, energy production, medical technology, and space flight, to name just a few. The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers a range of physics courses from introductory to advanced undergraduate level in both experimental and theoretical physics with computational methods in mind. In addition, we offer introductory to advanced astronomy and astrophysics courses in which astronomical applications of physics are emphasized. These courses deal with the Universe, from the solar system to clusters of galaxies, both theoretically and observationally. The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in physics. Graduates with this degree are prepared for further study in physics or related fields at the masters or Ph.D. level, as well as a wide variety of technical positions in industry. In addition, the department offers two other degree paths that combine a solid background in the study of physics with in-depth study in other fields. These options allow for specialization in related fields and provide appropriate background for certain employment opportunities and for continued graduate or professional study:

Astronomy: The astronomy option provides a thorough study of astronomy and astrophysics as well as a solid background in physics and mathematics. Graduates from this program have gone on to graduate programs in astronomy and astrophysics while others have found career opportunities at national astronomical observatories.

Computational Physics: The computational physics option provides a thorough study of computer science and computational physics as well as a solid background in physics and mathematics. Graduates from this program have gone on to graduate programs in physics and computer science while others have found career opportunities in technical fields.

Special Degree Requirements

Bachelor of Arts with a major in Physics: Astronomy Option

During their first two years, students in the astronomy option should take ASTR 142N (or 132N and 135N), PHSX 215N-216N-217N-218N (PHYS 211N-212N-213N-214N), or 205N-206N-207N-208N (PHYS 111N-113N-112N-114N), PHSX 343 (PHYS 341), and M 171, 172, 273 (MATH 152, 153, and 251), M 151 (MATH 121), if necessary).  Forty-seven credits in astronomy and physics courses are required for the B.A. degree in physics with astronomy option.

1)  To earn a minor in physics the student must complete PHSX 215N-216N-217N-218N (PHYS 211N-212N-213N-214N) (or PHSX 205N-206N-207N-208N (PHYS 111N-112N-113N-114N)); PHSX 301 (PHYS 301);

2)   Eleven additional physics credits, at least eight of which must be upper division. (Mathematics prerequisites for the physics minor are M 171, 172, 273, and 311 (MATH 152, 153, 251, and 311).  Possible concentrations for the eleven additional physics credits include:

Classical Physics:

Quantum Physics

Experimental Physics

Electrical and Computational Physics

Engineering Physics

These concentrations are meant to be suggestive only.  All meet the Minor in Physics requirements of eleven additional credits with at least eight of these being upper-division.  For additional possibilities, a student can consult with a physics advisor.

Courses

R- before the course description indicates the course may be repeated for credit to the maximum indicated after the R. Credits beyond this maximum do not count toward a degree.
