3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of the study of classical quantum mechanics begun in PHYS 300.Topics include the three-dimensional Schrodinger equation, selection rules, addition of angular momentum, fine structure in hydrogen, exchange symmetry, the Zeeman effect, and stimulated emission. Prerequisite: PHYS 300 or permission of the Chair of the Department.
-
3.00 Credits
This course studies the properties that result from the distribution of electrons in metals, semiconductors, and insulators.It examines how the elementary excitations and imperfections of real solids can be understood in terms of simple models. Prerequisite: PHYS 300 or permission of the Chair of the Department.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to subatomic physics.The course examines the properties and constituents of the nucleus; the strong nuclear force; models of the nucleus; radioactive decay including alpha, beta and gamma decay; and nuclear reactions such as fission and fusion.Particle physics is discussed, including the classes and properties of various subatomic particles, virtual particles, conservation laws, the quark model, the weak force, and parity violation. Prerequisite: PHYS 300 or permission of the Chair of the Department.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is a survey of physics for review and correlation of various fields within the discipline. Prerequisite: Permission of the Chair of the Department.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a study of the aims and methods of teaching the physical and life sciences in the secondary schools.Special attention is given to teaching general laboratory procedures and techniques of teaching.Each of the departments in the physical and life sciences participates in the program. Prerequisite: 16 credits in one of the physical or life sciences or permission of the instructor.

2.00 - 4.00 Credits
Independent Study
-
2.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course offers seniors independent work on research problems in theoretical or experimental physics.Experimental physics projects are offered in such areas as applied optics, electronics, radio astronomy, electron spin resonance, optical fibers, and various solid state subjects: conductivity measurements in semiconductors, charge-coupled devices, GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wells, and others.Theoretical physics projects are unlimited in scope and often involve computer modeling of physical systems.All projects are arranged through consultation with the student's advisor.

3.00 Credits
3 hours A study of the major problems of philosophical thought in both the Eastern and Western traditions. Students will get a "hands-on"experience in the nature and method of philosophical thinking. Topics include the philosophy of ways of knowing, of the mind, and of God and religion.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours An alternate first course in philosophy. Topics include the nature of the good, moral obligation, happiness and pleasure. Minor ethical theories, as well as selected practical issues, will be studied.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours This course studies several ethical theories relevant to business ethics, including utilitarianism, rights theory, and theories of justice, as well as social contract theory and virtue theory. Topics to be explored, through close analysis of case studies, include the ethical nature of the free market system, the ethical dimensions of pollution and resource depletion, consumer rights, worker rights and job discrimination, information technology, and problems in the international market.
