DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
The Department of Physics offers Bachelor of
Science degree programs in Physics and in
Physical Sciences, and a Master of Science
program in Physics. The curricula for the
undergraduate degrees are covered in the
following. Students seeking information
concerning the graduate program should consult
the Graduate Catalogue.
The Bachelor of Science program in Physics is
the traditional program designed for students
who wish to obtain a solid background in the
field. It prepares students to work in government
and private laboratories, to pursue graduate work
in physics or to teach physics at the secondary
level if additional courses in education are taken
to obtain the teacher's license required by the
Department of Education. This program is
recommended to students who would like to
pursue a career in Physics.
The Bachelor of Science Program in Physical
Sciences is directed specifically to the
preparation of secondary school teachers in the
physical sciences. The program includes most of
the courses in education required for certification
by the Department of Education. However, it can
also be used by students who do not want to
make a commitment to any of the traditional
fields of study in the physical sciences and
require a broader preparation in general science.
A wide variety of subjects can be chosen by
students in order to fulfill free electives
requirements. These include traditional choices
from mathematics, chemistry, geology, computer
sciences, arts and humanities and non-traditional
selections from business, biology, education and
engineering. Students who contemplate taking
courses outside the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
should consult their departmental advisor
regarding the availability of such courses.
Students are encouraged to choose electives
wisely.
Recommended electives must be taken from the
list of courses corresponding to the program of
study which follows. This list is revised
periodically to incorporate changes in academic
offerings. Other courses might be taken only
after consultation with a departmental academic
advisor.
