Objectives for the Physics Program

The Physics program offers a variety of courses which fulfill the laboratory science requirement for all students.

PHYS 1100, 1200, 2000, are for non-science majors and are strongly recommended for satisfying the Liberal Arts and Sciences requirements.

PHYS 2300 and 2400 are the standard non-calculus general Physics courses offered at most baccalaureate institutions. The sequence is taken by chemistry, biology, computer sciences, mathematics, and most industrial technology majors. They are also appropriate to the non-science major interested in applying mathematical problem-solving techniques to physical settings.

PHYS 2000, 3100, 3200, 3300, 4100, and 4200 are all advanced courses that are offered from time to time in the form of free electives to those students who have had PHYS 2300 and 2400 and have shown keen interest in physics and mathematics.
