the earth and space science concentration of the physics major. The physics major is the appropriate curriculum for a student contemplating a career in physics or engineering. The physics education concentration of the physics major is a more general program, suitable for a student planning a career or as a high school teacher. The earth and space science concentration is a flexible program intended for students interested in more applied areas such as astronomy or geophysics. All three programs develop analytic and problem-solving skills which will be valuable in any future occupation. COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM IN ENGINEERING 198 The School of Environmental and Physical Science at Radford University and the College of Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) offer a joint program in physics and engineering. This is a dual degree programs in which the student will receive a B.S. in physics from Radford University and a B.S. in engineering from Virginia Tech. The approximate time required for a student to complete these programs is five years. During the first three years, the student completes the major requirements in physics, as well as most or all of the Core Curriculum requirements at Radford. Some introductory engineering courses should also be completed while the student is at Radford; some of these may be taken during the summer. The student then transfers to Virginia Tech and, in two additional years, completes the requirements for a degree in engineering. Participants in this program who have a grade point average of 3.0 or above are guaranteed admission to the College of Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. All degree requirements for both Radford University and Virginia Tech should be satisfied by the end of the fifth year. The student then receives a degree from each institution. The student should choose, early in the program, the intended engineering major at Virginia Tech. This choice will affect the physics curriculum that the student undertakes at Radford. All students in this program must be prepared to take PHYS 221:222 and MATH 151:152 during the first year. MATH 251:252 will be taken during the second year. Chemistry (CHEM 101:102), upper-level physics courses, and additional mathematics courses will be completed during the second and third years of the program. The upper-level physics courses will be chosen, with the assistance of a faculty advisor, to fulfill the requirements of the major in physics, as well as to complement the student’s intended engineering curriculum. Appropriate courses in Core Curriculum will also be selected with the aid of an advisor. The student will be encouraged to take an introduction to engineering course at Virginia Tech as early as the summer between the first and second years of the program. The remaining requirements of the chosen engineering major will then be completed after the student has transferred to Virginia Tech. Further details about this program can be obtained by contacting the physics program coordinator. PHYSICS MAJOR This is the curriculum recommended for students interested in careers as physicists and for students contemplating graduate school in physics. B.A. OR B.S.

Total Credits Needed For Graduation 120 EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE CONCENTRATION This concentration will allow a broad physics-based degree with more flexibility in the elective courses for students to choose their career path. For example those wishing to go to graduate school in astronomy may choose more astronomy classes. Those in our existing 3:2 Cooperative Engineering Agreement with Virginia Tech may choose more applied electives such as Geophysics and Engineering Geology. B.A. OR B.S. DEGREE There are 41 semester hours required for students in this concentration (exclusive of the B.A./ B.S. requirements). These include 6 semester hours of math requirements, 19 hours of required courses, and at least 16 hours of other courses. Core Curriculum Requirements 43-45 (See p. 71.)
