COURSE CURRICULUM

The coursework in the Bachelor of Science in Physics program is structured to provide a strong foundation in both theoretical concepts and practical scientific skills. Students begin with core subjects such as Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism, which introduce the fundamental laws that govern motion, forces, energy, and electromagnetic phenomena. These courses build the essential understanding needed for more advanced study in physics.As the program progresses, students take more advanced and specialized courses such as Quantum Mechanics, which explores the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic levels, and Methods of Computational and Theoretical Physics, which develops skills in mathematical modeling and problem-solving using computer-based techniques. Experimental Physics plays a key role in helping students apply theoretical knowledge in laboratory settings, where they learn to design experiments, collect data, and analyze scientific results accurately.Supporting science and mathematics courses such as Biology, Calculus, and Earth System Science broaden students’ scientific understanding and provide interdisciplinary knowledge that connects physics to other fields. Programming Languages is also included to equip students with computational skills that are increasingly important in modern physics research and simulation work.The program offers different academic tracks, including Standard Physics, Engineering Physics, and Interdisciplinary Physics, allowing students to tailor their studies based on their career goals. Engineering Physics is suitable for those interested in applied science and engineering careers, while Interdisciplinary Physics allows connections with other scientific or technical fields.Overall, the curriculum is designed to balance theory, computation, and experimentation, ensuring students develop strong analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving abilities. Additional resources such as major requirements, class schedules, and departmental support help guide students through their academic journey. The program also offers combined bachelor’s and master’s degree options, providing opportunities for advanced study and professional development in physics and related disciplines.
