Students would be required to complete the following courses:

• PS 131-132 Classical Physics I & II
• PS 231 Modern Physics
• PS 242 Dynamics
• PS 346 Thermodynamics
• PS 380 Electricity and Magnetism
• PS 383 Quantum Mechanics
• PS 386 Mathematical Methods of Physics
• PS 449* Topics in Physics
• PS 451 ** -452 Independent Research I & II (taken in senior year)
• MA 170-180 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I & II
• MA 210 Calculus III
• MA 220 Vector Analysis and Differential Equations
• MA 310 Linear Analysis

* In the past, this course has included such topics as laser physics, modern astrophysics, general relativity, history of physics, and quantum cryptography

** Note that, much like similar courses in biology and chemistry, PS 451 is presently a non-credit course but is a pre-requisite to PS 452. It is our plan to make this a one-credit course once the college moves to a credit system.

Course Sequence: Ordinary course sequence for the physics major.
