物理 Major 需求
Bachelor of Arts 需求
物理 2311, 211, 2312, 2112 (General 物理 I and II) and 24 advanced credits in 物理 that are selected in consultation with the faculty of the 物理 Department 是必需的 因为B.A. 在物理. The courses that compose the 24 advanced credits regularly include 物理 3320 (Quantum 物理), 3120 (Quantum 实验室oratory), 3326 (Statistical 物理), 3341 (Optics), 3141 (Optics 实验室oratory), 3363 (Computational 物理), 4423 (Theoretical Mechanics), 4424 (Quantum Mechanics), and 4327 (Electromagnetic 理论).
In addition, Chemistry 1303, 1103, 1304, 1104, and Math 1404, 1004, 1311, and 2312 是必需的. At least two of Math 3324, 3310,3315, and 3338 are suggested electives. (Most physics majors receive a concentration in applied mathematics.)
All students 是必需的 to pass a written comprehensive examination in the fall of their senior year. This exam covers topics from all required courses 在物理 因为B.A. 或B.S. 学位. It is given early in the semester, in case a retake is 必要的.
Suggested Program Sequence
Course numbers - the 1st digit is the year in which the course is usually taken; the 2nd digit is the number of semester hours credit; and 3rd and 4th numbers are the course identifier for the department. The order of physics and mathematics classes is important; core classes during the junior and senior years are flexible.
