The department has four concentrations focusing on different aspects of physics as well as a collaborative dual degree agreement with Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering. The Theoretical and Experimental concentration prepares students for careers or graduate study in physics. The Astrophysics concentration focuses on the use of physics in astronomy and planetary science. The Biophysics concentration looks at the connections between physics, chemistry, and biology and can be used to help prepare students to work or continue to graduate studies in this growing sector. It also provides a unique pathway to the professional health and medical fields. The Education concentration prepares students to teach physics at the high school level. The collaborative program with Virginia Tech’s College of Engineering allows students to earn two bachelor’s degrees (one in Physics, one in a field of Engineering) in a 5-year program.
This major fulfills the R and L areas of the REAL Curriculum. Students fulfill the R area through classes requiring students to apply quantitative and scientific information to test problems to draw conclusions and to generate scientific and quantitative knowledge.These requirements are accomplished though the skills and knowledge gained in mathematical and scientific reasoning utilized in Physics courses taken in the first two years of the major curriculum.
Students fulfill the L area through classes requiring the students to develop professional skills and critically reflect on how their skills, abilities and experiences apply in a profession. Students develop these skills and reflect on their professional skills, experience and abilities in laboratory and computational physics courses taken in the second year of the major curriculum.
