Bachelor of Arts - Physics

Program Description

This is a flexible program consisting of a concentration in physics, requirements in mathematics and chemistry, and a broad range of required and elective courses in the arts and sciences. The required courses may be combined with courses in education to complete certification for teaching in the public schools.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Demonstrate knowledge of the body of natural laws through which much of the behavior of the physical universe can be understood and predicted;
• Demonstrate an understanding of the powerful concepts of mathematical analysis necessary for the construction and application of physical theories;
• Demonstrate competency in the use of sophisticated and accurate apparatus specifically designed to discover the physical attributes of matter and radiation and their interactions; and
• Demonstrate ability to properly interpret data obtained from experimental investigations and mathematical simulations.

Students should be advised that this is the Direct Admission option for this program and as such does not offer conditional admission.
