物理文学学士

物理专业的学生学习力学，热和热力学，电和磁，光学，相对论，量子力学和基本粒子的基本定律。学生还将研究基本理论在描述块状物质（包括固体，液体，气体和等离子体的机械，电，磁和热性质）以及描述原子和核结构方面的应用。此外，学生还将发展实验物理学家的实验室技能和技术，这些技能可用于实验性搜索新知识或应用已知理论。有兴趣从事涉及物理学以及其他主题更广泛背景的职业的学生，​​可以选择文理学院的物理学学士学位。例如，这最适合有兴趣在中学教授物理或从事诸如技术法或商业等职业，或将物理与其他专业相辅相成的学生。本专业提供许
Physics students study the basic laws of mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, optics, relativity, quantum mechanics, and elementary particles. Students also study applications of the basic theories to the description of bulk matter, including the mechanical, electric, magnetic, and thermal properties of solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas, and to the description of the structure of atoms and nuclei. In addition, students develop the laboratory skills and techniques of the experimental physicist, skills that can be applied in the experimental search for new knowledge or in applications of the known theories. Students who are interested in pursuing a career that involves physics along with a broader background in other topics may choose the Bachelor of Arts with a major in physics in the College of Arts and Sciences. This is best suited, for example, for students interested in teaching physics in secondary school or in pursuing a career such as technical law or business, or combining physics with another major or minor. The many electives available in this major allow students maximum flexibility in designing programs best suited for their particular interests.
