Advisor: Prof. Euclides Almeida/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n The Physics Department offers the B.Sc. and B.A. degrees in Physics. These degrees enable graduates to pursue graduate studies in Physics, to qualify for positions in industrial and government laboratories, or pursue careers in related fields such as Science Education, Engineering. In addition physics graduates have successfully entered the fields of Astronomy, Biophysics, Astrophysics, Computer Science and Medicine. There are two tracks for B.A. in Physics: /academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u201cPhysics/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u201d and /academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u201cApplied Physics/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u201d. Please click on a link below to see requirements for either track./academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n In addition to college wide residency requirement, Physics Department requires that all students graduating ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ with an undergraduate degree in Physics shall have no less than 50% of their credits in their Physics major taken at ºì¶¹ÊÓƵ, not counting introductory physics courses 145 and 146, 121 and 122 as well as mathematics courses./academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n Requirements:/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n Physics B.A. /academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u00a0/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u00a0/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u00a0Physics B.A. Applied /academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u00a0/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u00a0/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u00a0Physics B.Sc./academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n The recommended sequence of Physics courses for all majors are typically completed within three years (Fall semester registrants) or four years (Spring semester registrants)./academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n Recommendation:/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n Sequence of courses/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n [/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590//et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Accelerated B.S. in Physics, M.S. in Optics and Photonics Technology Program ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/n Combined Physics B.S. /academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u2013 Photonics M.S. program (149 credits, Major Code: PHYPH-BSMS), /academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u00a0offers best students an opportunity to obtain both B.S. and M.S degrees in 5 years instead of usual 6 and with only 149 credits instead of 163. Sixteen graduate credits will be taken while students are still undergraduates and are charged at the undergraduate rates giving students a substantial saving. Photonics M.S. program has been certified by the Council of Graduate Studies as Professional Master/academics/physics/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/10590/u2019s Program.
