Physics Program Learning Outcomes

A student who graduates with a major in Physics should be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge of the theoretical underpinnings of physics by solving problems in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
• Recognize the role of observation and experimentation in science by utilizing basic laboratory techniques and data analysis to study physical phenomena.
• Communicate experimental results, theoretical solutions, and general knowledge of physics in both written and oral forms.
• Foster a culture of science and interest in physics within the greater community by having participated in co-curricular outreach or research activities.
