Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Physics, Applied Physics Specialization
(120 credit hours)
The American Association of Physics Teachers recommends students planning to do physics graduate work take Physics 3301, 3331, and Physics 4363. Those students who contemplate graduate studies in other disciplines will want to choose appropriate minors. For students who plan to work in industry or do graduate work in engineering, the Applied Physics specialization area is recommended.

*The student is expected to have completed two years of high school algebra, one year of high school geometry, and a precalculus course. If not, the student will be advised whether Mathematics 1314, 1316 and/or 2312 should be completed before enrollment in Mathematics 2413. The student must complete Mathematics 2413 and 2414 prior to the end of the second year of study and must complete Mathematics 3415 and 3335 prior to the end of the third year of study.
