BS in Physics - Biological Physics Option

For general university requirements, see Graduation Requirements. Major requirements consist of a common core of basic physics and mathematics courses, with additional course work specific to each degree program. Students may obtain credit for some courses by advanced placement, and the department’s undergraduate committee can modify requirements to meet the needs of students with special backgrounds. Program Learning Outcomes for BS in Physics Students graduating from this program will: Acquire and demonstrate a solid foundation of knowledge in physics and/or astrophysics and deeper knowledge of subdivisions of the field related to their interests. Build the theoretical, computational, and laboratory skills necessary to succeed in graduate school or in the workplace and become leaders in their chosen discipline. Develop the ability to identify, formulate, and solve challenging scientific and technical problems as encountered in physics and astronomy. Learn basic skills in reading scientific literature. They will also be able to communicate scientific results orally and in writing with scientists and the general public. Be able to conduct directed research. This program based on Biological Physics Option. In addition to Biological Physics Option, there are General Physics Option, Applied Physics Option, Computational Physics Option also available.
