Physics Programs

The physics major can, by proper choice of electives, prepare for graduate work in physics, astronomy, environmental science, or graduate school in professions such as medicine or law. The student may also choose to work in industry, public service, or teaching. The program for prospective teachers will prepare graduates to teach various courses ranging from high school physics to science in the junior high and middle schools, depending on the courses elected. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that the student elect those courses which will satisfy the demands of his or her chosen profession.
