Barton, Robert L. Capener, Robert A. Clarke, J. Ronald Galli; Associate Professors, Richard G. Hills, Daryl L. Letham; Assistant Professor, David A. Tripp. The physicist seeks to understand the behavior of matter and energy at the most general fundamental level. The allied sciences of chemistry, earth sciences, and biology (including parts of medical science) build on the law of physics and often rely upon instruments originally devised by physicists. Physics underlies engineering and most of modern technology. Thus, physics plays a basic and essential role in our economy and our culture. A knowledge of physics is essential in many fields of endeavor. The Physics program has been made particularly flexible in order to accommodate those who do not wish to major in Physics, but who wish to build upon the fundamental base of physics. Students graduating in Physics can go into varied scientific fields such as medicine, geophysics, chemical physics, materials science, metallurgy, and engineering, as well as into physics. Physics graduates can also enter non-scientific fields such as education, business administration, journalism, and philosophy. A degree in Applied Physics (often called Engineering Physics) is offered for those students who wish to study physics, but also want to see how the results of physics are applied in the engineering and other allied sciences. Some of the physics courses required for the Applied Physics and Physics degree, and some of the pre-engineering courses required for the Applied Physics degree are only offered on alternate years. The student must, therefore, be careful to plan his schedule such that he can take these particular classes in the year in which they are offered. Suggested class schedules are available by contacting or writing the Physics Department office. The student should obtain this material during his freshman year so that his entire four-year schedule can be planned. Department faculty are all available to assist in this planning. 196 Natural Sciences Physics Program: Physics MajorBachelor Degree I. General Requirements: A.
