物理文学学士

物理系正在为学生准备在物理，应用物理学，天文学，金融，管理，医学和各种相关领域的21世纪广泛职业。通过对物理的研究，我们讲授一种定量的解决问题的方法，这与财务分析或生物工程相关，就像它是物理学的研究职业一样。我们的目标是直接通过我们针对非专业的班级来提高普通大众的科学素养，并通过鼓励专业人士考虑从事教育事业来间接地提高大众的科学素养。该部门同时提供文学士和理学士学位以及硕士学位和博士学位。在全美排名最高的计划中。各个层次的学生均可获得广泛的研究机会。
The Department of Physics prepares students for a broad range of 21st-century careers in physics, applied physics, astronomy, finance, management, medicine and a variety of related fields. As a student in the Physics program, youll learn a quantitative approach to problem solving that is just as relevant to financial analysis or bio-engineering as it is to a research career in physics. The physics major provides the foundation for careers in basic and applied physics, in interdisciplinary areas such as astronomy, biophysics, environmental science, oceanography, and scientific instrumentation, and in economics, law, and medicine.<br><br>The Department of Physics offers undergraduate programs leading to the B.S. or the B.A. degree, a minor in astronomy and planetary science, and a minor in physics. It also offers a graduate program leading to a Ph.D. in physics. The Bachelor of Science degree requires a number of electives which may be taken according to the particular aims of the student, after consultation with a faculty advisor. It is designed to provide basic preparation for graduate school in physics, another physical science, or engineering, and for work in industry or a research laboratory. The Bachelor of Arts degree aims at providing students with a basic knowledge of the physical sciences that can be applied to a career in the natural or behavioral sciences, economics, or to further study in a professional school.
