Physics Curriculum (BS)
Requirements for a Major in Physics
Each student majoring in physics is required to follow the physics curriculum leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in physics.
For students interested in interdisciplinary fields involving physics, it is suggested that the physics curriculum be followed with all electives taken in the other field of interest. Some interdisciplinary fields are listed with the appropriate elective field in parentheses: astrophysics (astronomy), geophysics (geology), materials science (chemistry and engineering), biophysics (microbiology), mathematical physics (mathematics), solid state (chemistry and engineering).
