课程
Undergraduate courses provide a background in fundamental physics, computation and laboratory techniques as a platform for exploring exciting topics, 包括黑洞, 星星, 量子系统, astrophysics and 生物 physics.
- Explain phenomena occurring from subatomic to cosmological distance scales, using qualitative physical principles.
- 应用 mathematics and logic to solve problems associated with natural phenomena.
- Assess and explain arguments for physical laws based on experimental and theoretical evidence.
- Employ basic laboratory and technical skills to solve physics problems as a result of formal laboratory coursework and research opportunities with faculty.
The physics department offers coursework leading to either a B.A. 还是B.S. 学位. B.A. 学位 程序 requires fewer credit hours in the major than the B.S. 程序. It provides a flexible and broad education in many topics in physics that prepare students for a diverse array of 阀杆 or 阀杆-adjacent career options.
B.S. prepares you for graduate study in 阀杆 and science and engineering careers requiring a deeper set of quantitative and problem-solving tools.

课外的机会
物理 Help Center and Study Lounge
The 物理 Clinic is a help center and study lounge located in the 物理Building. It is staffed by teaching assistants and available throughout the academic year. Undergraduate students are encouraged to use the clinic for consultations on topics covered in physics and astronomy courses or as a community space to work on assignments together.
澳门线上赌场 Society of 物理 Students
Members of the 澳门线上赌场 Society of 物理 Students chapter organize academic and social events, including group study sessions and review sessions for first-year physics courses. They also make several visits to local high schools to talk about the value and versatility of an undergraduate 学位 in physics. The organization is open to all students with an interest in physics, regardless of their major.
物理研究
Many physics majors work in research labs, performing new experiments and theory in the areas of biophysics, 引力波, 实验粒子物理学, 机械超材料, quantum information science and 更多的.
同伴指导
Many physics majors help faculty teach courses as peer instructors, 叫教练, giving students access to faculty, the opportunity to learn physics deeper through teaching it and the ability to build their resumes through real-world experiences.
