The program requires that students take courses in physics, theoretical mechanics, electricity and thermodynamics. Candidates for teacher certification must fulfill all requirements for the physics major for teaching certification.

The Department of Physics offers four programs in physics leading to the B.S. degree. A student contemplating a physics major should arrange for an early interview with the department, so that his or her interest and future career can be considered in the planning of the program.

Our dedicated faculty and staff are committed to providing the highest quality undergraduate programs geared towards personalized attention and hands-on learning.??
