Departmental InformationPHYSICS (PHYS)The department offers two undergraduate degrees: Bachelor of Science with a major in Physics and Bachelor of Science in Engineering Physics; the first degree is offered through Arts and Sciences -- the second is offered through the College of Engineering and Mines. An atmospheric science option is available for the B.S. degree. Either of these two degrees would be a good choice for students planning graduate work in Physics. At the graduate level, the department offers degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy with a major in Physics; for graduate admission and degree requirements, consult the Graduate Catalog. Bachelor of Science in Education and Master of Education degrees are available with a teaching major in Physics. Undergraduate research: The department strongly encourages its majors to become involved in research at the undergraduate level. Students may obtain academic credit for such research either through 482 or independent research credit 499(H). In addition, a theoretical astrophysics concentration is available to Physics majors. This concentration does not lead to a special degree but is instead an informal program of advising and research opportunities. Students interested in such research opportunities should contact their Physics Department academic advisors. |
