3.30 Credits
Individual research, directed by a member of the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Results of the research will be reported in a thesis, published paper, or off-campus presentation. Enrollment by invitation of the Department. Students will normally have completed 90 semester hours with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 and have completed at least 22 hours in physics (including PHYS 372) with a grade point average of 3.30. Credits: 3(0-9) Offered by individual arrangement
-
3.00 Credits
A one-semester work and study experience in an appropriate laboratory. Students are required to complete a formal research paper describing the nature of the project undertaken, problems encountered, methodology employed, and conclusions from the project. Prerequisites: Senior class standing, 3.0 cumulative GPA in physics, and permission of the department. This course may be repeated for a total of 6 credit hours. Credits: 2(0-6) Offered by individual arrangement. Cannot be counted towards the minimum semester hours in Physics.
-
3.00 Credits
A one-semester work and study experience in an appropriate laboratory outside the College. Students are required to attend regular seminars during the internship, to submit monthly written reports, and to present a departmental seminar upon return to the College. Interns work closely with the sponsor on projects approved by the Physics Department. Notes: This course may not be counted towards the minimum semester hours in physics. 3, 6, or 9 semester hours. Prerequisites: Senior class standing, 3.0 cumulative GPA in physics and permission of the department and cooperating agency. Co-requisite: PHYS 394 - Independent Research. This course may be repeated for a total of 9 credit hours. Offered by individual arrangement
-

Students work individually, under the supervision of a faculty member, on a research problem in physics. Notes: This course may not be counted towards the minimum 37 semester hours in physics. 1 to 3 semester hours. Prerequisites: Permission of instructor. Offered by individual arrangement. Cannot be counted towards Physics major.
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
An introduction to the comparative study of political behavior and institutions. Brief consideration of individual cases suggests concepts and insights which will facilitate the study and criteria for judgment of differing types of political systems in differing environments and at different stages of development. Includes elementary explanation of "types," "environments," and the concepof "development." Prepares the entering studentfor more intensive studies of particular geographical and institutional areas. Major examples considered are drawn from areas other than the United States; however, students are encouraged to apply newly introduced concepts to the politics of the United States. Credits: 3(3-0)
-
0.00 - 3.00 Credits
The insights and teachings of major living religions will be analyzed by a study of their basic texts and teachers: Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Comparison of how their teachings apply to such contemporary issues as war and peace, the environment, gender, race, sexual orientation, and economic justice. (Cross listed with PHIL 202.) Credits: 3(3-0) Offered once a year
