| B.A. in Physics |
| Requirements for the B.A. in physics, in addition to the University degree
requirements outlined within this Bulletin, are |
| 1. Courses in physics--32 credits as follows: |
| PHYS 110, 120 | Physics Seminars |
| PHYS 130 and 130L | University Physics I/Experiments I |
| PHYS 140 and 140L | University Physics II/Experiments II |
| PHYS 340 | Methods in Theoretical Physics |
| PHYS 341 | Theoretical Mechanics |
| PHYS 351 | Intermediate Electricity and Magnetism |
| And additional coursework in physics, as approved by the department,
such that the student achieves the required total of 32 semester hours of
study in the discipline. These additional courses must be at the 200 level
or above. |
| Required cognates--12 credits: |
| MATH 120, 130, 210 | Calculus I, Calculus II, Calculus III |
| CSCI 110/110L | Intro to Computer Science I /Lab |
| These mathematics courses, together with any prerequisite courses
indicated by placement test results, also meet the University's mathematics
requirement, in lieu of CORE 130, Mathematics. |
The department strongly recommends that students' elective studies include:
CHEM 113/103L General Chemistry I (& Lab)
CHEM 114/104L General Chemistry II (& Lab (and Lab)
CSCI 120/120L Intro to Computer Science II (and Lab) |
| B.S. in Physics |
|
| Requirements for the B.S. in physics are similar to those for the B.A. degree,
with the following exceptions and variations: |
| 1. Eight additional hours in physics are required for the B.S. degree, beyond the
32 required for the B.A. These are to be selected, subject to departmental
approval, from among courses in physics numbered 200 and above. |
| 2. The University foreign language requirement does not apply for the B.S.
degree in physics. |
