Bachelor of Arts Degree in Applied Physics
The applied physics program is designed to provide a broad education in the physical sciences, mathematics, and liberal arts. Requirements for the Applied Physics Major with an Engineering Concentration
Core Curriculum Requirements:
See Undergraduate Core Curriculum 39 credit hours outside of major courses, assuming 103 language placement and that ER/S and DCR flags are satisfied in other core courses. Mathematical Perspectives, Scientific Perspectives, Natural Science Elective, Quantitative Reasoning, Writing and Oral Communication Flags are included within the major. Major Requirements:
60 credit hours, including: 30 hours of physics and engineering courses:
Additional Major Requirements
- 30 credit hours, as follows
12 hours of Mathematics and Computer Science:
18 hours in the engineering concentration:
Note(s):
- A 2.000 cumulative average must be attained within the major, as listed in Degree Works.
TOTAL Minimum Hours Required for Degree: 120 Semester Hours
Depending on the language placement and how the DCR and ERS flags are satisfied additional hours need to be taken as electives to reach 120 hours. B.A. Applied Physics with a concentration in Engineering
