A variety of topics at the intermediate level, available to students with an interest in physics. Some examples of topics are: exploring the universe, astronomy beyond the Milky Way, atomic and molecular physics, and particle physics. Specific choice of topics will depend on student interest and background. Prerequisites: prior physics course and permission of the department. The Department
-
1.00 Credits
A discussion of research in physics, based primarily on discussion of journal articles. Primarily intended for physics majors or potential physics majors, this course is open to any student who is taking or who has taken another physics course. Must be taken S/U. May be repeated for credit. The Department
-
3.00 Credits
Internship opportunity for students whose curricular foundations and cocurricular experience have prepared them for professional work related to the major field. With faculty sponsorship and department approval, students may extend their educational experience into such areas as physics research, environmental and material science, or electrical engineering. Prerequisites: PY207, 208.
