Majors
Major in Physics
Students who major in physics must complete fifty-eight to fifty-nine hours, including CHEM 101-101L and 102-102L; CSC 241 or 250; MATH 201, 202, 301, 302, and 401; PHYS 121-121L or 214-214L; PHYS 215-215L, 216, 302, 303, 311, and 350; and nine hours of PHYS electives at the 300-level or above.
Major in Medical Physics
Medical physics uses physics to help treat and diagnose diseases. The medical physics major lays the groundwork for further education in areas like magnetic resonance imaging, brain imaging, ultrasound imaging, and radiation therapy and oncology. Medical physics majors receive broad preparation in physics, chemistry, and biology.
Students who major in medical physics must complete seventy-three to seventy-six hours, including BIOL 111-111L, 112-112L, and 311; CHEM 101-101L, 102-102L, 221-221L, and 222-222L; MATH 201, 202, 301, 302, and 401; PHYS 121-121L or 214-214L, 215-215L, 216, 220*, 303, 311, 350, and 405; and 4 hours of PHYS electives taught at or above the 300 level.
Notes: MATH 221 and 307 may be taken in lieu of PHYS 220 to meet linear algebra requirement.
