Program Information for Physics - B.S.

Program Description

Full Description

The Bachelor of Science degree in Physics is a professionally oriented program that serves as preparation for either graduate work in physics or entrance into positions in a variety of industries or government service.

The Physics major comprises the following concentrations:

  • The Biological Sciences concentration is interdisciplinary and for students with a strong interest in both physics and biology, who may wish to prepare for graduate study in biophysics or work in a biotechnology company.
  • The Chemistry concentration is interdisciplinary and designed for students with a strong interest in both physics and chemistry, who may wish to prepare for graduate study in chemical physics or work in a high-technology materials-related research and development laboratory.
  • The Computer Science concentration is interdisciplinary and provides a foundation in physics while emphasizing the use of computer software in scientific applications. Graduates are prepared for computer-related careers that require an understanding of the underlying science as well as knowledge of relevant computer applications.
  • The Entrepreneurship concentration is interdisciplinary and designed to prepare physics majors for various aspects of starting or managing a scientific business.
  • The Physics concentration prepares students for further study at the graduate level or entry into industry careers. This concentration trains students in logical thinking and problem solving using both analytical and computational methods. It also furnishes students with a comprehensive understanding of the basic laws and principles that govern the physical world. In addition, this concentration prepares students for applications of physics to practical devices and systems, making it a popular stepping stone to graduate degrees and careers not only in physics, but also engineering, astronomy/astrophysics, materials science and applied mathematics.
  • The Pre-Medicine/Pre-Osteopathy/Pre-Podiatry concentration is interdisciplinary and designed to prepare physics majors for further study leading to careers in medicine.

Admissions for Physics - B.S.

  • The following courses may not count toward major requirements: PHY 11030, PHY 21040, PHY 21041, PHY 21430 and PHY 21431.

Foreign Language College Requirement, B.S.

  • Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science degree in the College of Sciences and Humanities must complete 8 credit hours of foreign language.1 
  • The following programs are exempt from this requirement: The Bachelor of Science in Cybercriminology and the Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science.2
  • Minimum Elementary I and II of the same language
1

All students with prior foreign language experience should take the foreign language placement test to determine the appropriate level at which to start. Some students may start beyond the Elementary I level and will complete the requirement with fewer credit hours and courses. This may be accomplished by (1) passing a course beyond Elementary I through Intermediate II level; (2) receiving credit through one of the programs offered by 51爆料; or (3) demonstrating comparable to Elementary II of a foreign language. When students complete the requirement with fewer than 8 credit hours and two courses, they will complete remaining credit hours with general electives.

2

The Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science exemption exists under another college policy (Three-Plus-One Programs). The Bachelor of Science in Cybercriminology exemption is due to its extensive collaboration with and contribution from the Information Technology program in the College of Applied and Technical Studies, which does not have a foreign language requirement.
