Show Natural Sciences Microbiology of Microbiology LS 374 (Sanitation) and Microbiology 499 (Seminar). Credit for Microbiology 480 (Problems in Microbiology) and Microbiology 483 (Readings in Microbiology) may be received for a maximum of 3 hours each. The student desiring Microbiology Honors credit should seek permission from the Chairman of the Microbiology Department at the time of registration, and at the beginning of the course should make a written agreement with the appropriate professor regarding the work expected for Microbiology credit. Public HealthStudents planning a program in the department with Public Health emphasis should take courses listed for the departmental major plus Microbiology LS115, Sociology 343, and Zoology 450 and 455. By completing the Public Health emphasis in Microbiology, the bachelor of science degree graduate with appropriate additional courses may pursue a career in Public Health as environmental health specialists or as sanitarians. Planning Emphasis ProgramThe Department of Microbiology is one of eight departments participating in the Urban and Regional Planning Emphasis Program. This program is designed to prepare students for employment in planning on the city, county, state, regional and national level. Microbiology 115 (Public Health )or Microbiology LS374 (Sanitation) may be used to complete the fifteen hours of interdisciplinary courses required for a Planning Emphasis. A complete description of this program is found under the Department of Geology and Geography. Students majoring in Microbiology who are interested in Planning should consult with their adviser.

Paul Huish; 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.

Department MinorNormally nine to fifteen credit hours in approved upper division physics will be acceptable for the minor requirement. However, prior departmental approval of the candidate's program is required. Written approval by the department chairman should be obtained before the junior year. 157 |
