The program offered by the Moravian College emphasizes the theoretical developments and problem-solving at the appropriate level of mathematical sophistication; and on experimental investigation that stresses physical principles and that makes use of modern laboratory techniques and equipment.

Learning outcomes of the Physics program offered by the Moravian College:

  • Become familiar with the use of appropriate experimental equipment
  • Design experiments to answer specific questions (problem solving, critical thinking)
  • Analyze experimental data with proper attention to the limitations imposed by measurement uncertainty (quantitative literacy, inquiry and analysis, critical thinking)
  • Employ advanced computational methods when necessary and appropriate (quantitative literacy)
  • Communicate clearly both in writing and speech (oral communication, written communication)
