Courses Required for the Major:
MAT 121, Calculus of a Single Variable
MAT 122, Calculus of Several Variables
PHY 111, General Physics I
PHY 112, General Physics II
PHY 114, Laboratory Physics
PHY 302, Electronic Instrumentation for Scientific Research
PHY 303, Modern Physics
PHY 312, Experimental Physics
and either
(A) four additional course credits in Physics at or above the 200 level,
for a minimum of 12 courses
or
(B) 221 (Linear Algebra), 236 (Differential Equations),
and three additional course credits in Physics at or above the 300 level,
for a minimum of 13 courses.
Students planning for graduate work in Physics should elect option
(B) and include PHY 305 and at least two of PHY 321, 322, and 334. Students planning for graduate work are also strongly encouraged to tak MAT 234 (Complex Variables) and CHE 323 and 324 (Physical Chemistry I and !!).
Courses Required for a Teaching Major:
Option (A) and suggested work in biology, chemistry, and geology. Students
with other majors who intend to ask for certification in Physics as a
second field are required to complete only MAT 121 and 122 (Calculus of Single and Several Variables) and PHY 111, 112, 114, 302, 303, and 312. In addition to the foregoing
requirements, prospective teachers must also apply for admission to the
Teacher Education Program (preferably at the start of their sophomore
year) and complete a second major in Secondary Education described under
Education.
Courses Required for a Minor:
A minimum of five course credits in Physics which include PHY 111, 112,
114, 303, and at least one other course in Physics at or above the 300
level.
