Physics,
one of the basic sciences, has its origin in the irrepressible human
curiosity to explore and understand the natural world. This fundamental
urge to discover has led to the detailed understanding of a remarkable
variety of physical phenomena. Our knowledge now encompasses the
large-scale movement of galaxies, the minute motions within atoms and
nuclei, and the complex structure of
the assemblies of molecules which make life possible. The spectacular
enlargement of our comprehension of the physical world forms an
impressive part of the intellectual and cultural heritage of our times.
The opportunity to add
to this heritage is an important source of motivation for young
physicists.
The application of discoveries in physics to the solution of complex
modern
technological problems offers a vast field in which physicists also
make
decisive contributions. The interplay of pure and applied physics has
always
been fruitful and today ensures many rewarding career opportunities for
physics
students.
The undergraduate
curriculum in physics has been carefully designed to provide a firm
knowledge of the basic principles of physics, an appreciation of a wide
range of physical problems of current interest, and the capacity to
formulate and solve new problems. In addition to classwork and problem
solving, the curriculum includes the study of physical phenomena in the
laboratory. Physics students are strongly encouraged to go beyond the
formal theoretical and experimental course work and become involved in
research projects under the guidance of individual faculty members.
Students may choose from
a
variety of degree options:
• B.S. in Physics
• B.A. in Physics
• B.S. in Physics with
Tracks in:
- Applied Physics
- Astrophysics
- Biological Physics
- Chemical Physics
- Computational Physics
The objectives and
requirements for each of these options are described in the paragraphs
below. Each allows considerable latitude in the choice of electives.
Through the judicious
choice of elective courses, a double major program combining physics
and
another discipline can be readily achieved. A minor in physics is also
offered
for those students who major in other disciplines. The student, with
the
help of their faculty advisors, can easily build a program which aims
at
specific career objectives.
The Department maintains
an active and wide-ranging program of advising. Beyond aiding in
academic planning, Department advisors can also assist students in
finding research work during the academic year and technical jobs and
internships for the summer, as
well as planning and executing the necessary steps for gaining
employment
or continuing their studies beyond the bachelor's degree. Whether
students
follow a standard curriculum or not, the student should consult their
academic
advisor at least once every semester.
B.S. degree candidates
can
choose not only from a wide variety of intermediate and advanced topics
in
physics, but also from a range of material in other science or
engineering
fields. The B.S. degree serves as a solid foundation for students
wishing
to go on to graduate work in physics or in any of a large number of
fields
in pure or applied science or engineering, for which a sound grasp of
physics
and mathematics is essential. This program also provides excellent
preparation for careers in teaching, for work in industrial or
governmental research
and development, or for other employment in business or industry with a
significant scientific component.

With fewer mathematics
and
technical elective requirements and more free electives, the B.A.
degree
offers an enhanced opportunity for students to combine the physics
degree
with intensive work in other non-technical areas.
The requirements for the
B.A. degree are the same as those listed above for the B.S. degree with
the following changes:
• No units of mathematics
elective are required
• No units of technical
electives are required
• Free electives now
account for 62 units.
The minimum number of

In order to receive a
Dual
Degree in physics with a first degree in another home department, all requirements for the particular physics track must be
fulfilled.
The non-technical requirements will be waived if the home department
has
a similar set of required courses. Also, the number of units required
is
90 more than the total units required by the department requiring the
fewer
total units.
The Minor in Physics is
designed to provide a solid foundation in physics at the introductory
level, followed by elective courses in which the student will become
familiar with a sample of the many modern areas of physics, and the
concepts and techniques employed therein. The sequence consists of two
introductory level courses followed by five electives chosen from the
list below. The choice of electives requires prior approval by the
Department of Physics, and should be made in close
consultation with the Physics Department faculty advisor. The
Department
intends to be flexible and accommodate the student's specific
interests.
The minor is open to all students of the university, although students
with
non-calculus based majors should be aware of the mathematics
requirements
for many physics courses (21-120, 122, 259).
The Physics minor
requires
7 courses of at least 9 units each, of which four are required and
three
are electives.
