Core Curriculum (40 hours):

Professional Physics Emphasis

(64-65 semester hours)

This emphasis is built around the physics core curriculum to supply the background and experience needed to enter graduate school or become a research physicist.

Chemical Physics Emphasis:

(62-63 semester hours)

Chemical physics focuses on areas where the techniques of chemistry and physics are brought together for the study of toms and molecules; their interactions in gases, liquids, and solids; and the detailed structure and dynamics of material changes. Chemical physicists are employed by a wide range of businesses, particularly the pharmaceutical, photographic and microelectronic industries.
