Microbiology for Teachers (4) A, § Science content course for teachers in the M.Ed Science I°V The Department offers three major programs, Physics, Applied Physics, and Physics Teaching. The Physics major places emphasis on understanding nature at the deepest possible level. It also provides a strong foundation for graduate work in pure physics. The Applied Physics major places more emphasis on physical phenomena and hands-on experience. Thus, it is more suitable for those planning to go either directly into industrial employment or into graduate programs in certain applied fields. Since the course requirements for these two majors overlap considerably, students can easily switch from one major to the other any time before their senior year. The Physics Teaching major is designed specifically for those planning to teach physics at the secondary school level. MAJOR 4920. Short Courses, Workshops, 3340.
