2. develop skills which enable students to enter careers in business, teaching, research, and technology;
Special emphasis is placed on students acquiring as much laboratory experience as possible, together with facility in computer programming. Also, a series of courses are offered in such areas as electronics and materials science where students are introduced to present-day applications of physics to technology.
Laboratory facilities available to students include analog
and digital computers, a scanning tunneling microscope, a wide array of
sophisticated electronic, nuclear, and optical instruments, a Mossbauer
effect apparatus, a fully equipped cryogenics laboratory, a fully equipped
optics laboratory including a Spiricon Laser Beam Analyzer, a vacuum laboratory,
a 14" reflecting telescope, and a machine shop. Students are encouraged
to undertake independent projects of their own choosing.
Total 19 cr.
A11 300-level courses in Physics are offered in the
evening
I strongly encourage you to take the required 200-level physics courses, as well as MATH 107 (Calculus I) and MATH 202 (Calculus II) as early as possible, since these are prerequisites for almost all of the 300-level physics courses.
The College of Arts and Sciences has a rule that states only 9 hours of Physics transfer credits can be applied towards an Physics minor. Remember that the University requires a grade of C or better in any course applied toward the major or minor.
