COURSES OFFERED by the Department of Physics are planned to provide
basic training for (1) professional physics majors, (2) persons desiring a broad
liberal arts education centered around a major in physics, (3) major students in
other science fields, (4) premedical and predental students, and (5) students planning
to teach the physical sciences in the secondary schools.
The major requirements for a bachelor's degree are: General Physics (Ph
201, 202, 203) ; General Physics Laboratory (Ph 204, 205, 206) ; Introductory
College Mathematics (Mth 104, 105, 106); Differential and Integral Calculus
(Mth 201, 202, 203) ; General Chemistry (Ch 104, 105, 106, Ch 108, Ch 109) ;
Advanced General Physics (Ph 320, 321, 322) ; Modern Physics (Ph 411, 412,
413) ; Electricity and Magnetism (Ph 431,432,433) ; and two additional sequences
chosen from the following: Advanced Optics (Ph441, 442, 443), Thermodynamics
and Kinetic Theory (Ph 451, 452, 453), Introduction to Theoretical Physics
(Ph 471, 472, 473), Differential Equations (Mth 418), Functions of Several
Variables (Mth 419), Vector Analysis (Mth 420), Physical Chemistry (Ch 441,
442,443) .
Students planning to teach in the secondary schools must take required courses
in education (see SCHOOL OF EDUCATION) .
Subject Preparation for High-School Teaching. For certification as a
teacher of physics in Oregon high schools, the student's program must include
the subject-preparation requirements of the Oregon State Department of Education.
These requirements are: for a basic certificate, granted after four years
of college work, a basic norm-36 term hours, including work in general physics,
intermediate physics, and modern physics; for a standard certificate, granted after
five years of college work, a standard norm-54 term hours, including the basicnorm
requirement. (A teacher who has completed the standard-norm requirement
in physics and 12 term hours in chemistry may qualify for the teaching of
chemistry as a second field.)
These requirements will be mandatory after July 1, 1965. The minimum
subject requirements for students who qualify for certification before this date are
published in the 1962-63 University Catalog, page 265.
Honors. See HONORS COLLEGE, pages 120-123.
Graduate Work. The Department of Physics offers a program of graduate
work leading to the M.A., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees, with a variety of opportunities
for research. Some fields of current research interest in the department are the
following: Nuclear physics-nuclear structure, including beta- and gamma-ray
spectroscopy; nuclear theory. Solid state physics-optical and magnetic resonance
