本科专业

Students in the 物理系 are encouraged to pursue a broad scientific background and to master theory as well as experiment. The fundamental courses are offered in the principal areas 的物理—atomic and nuclear physics, classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics, quantum mechanics, statistical physics, and thermodynamics. The department also offers several laboratory classes. T在这里 is the opportunity for students to participate in research projects during the semesters and the summertime, over and above the class and lab work. Many undergraduate students become involved in faculty research and often co‐author published papers.

A general degree in physics prepares students for additional graduate work in physics, engineering, medicine and other sciences.
