About the course
This option in the physics degree program combines courses from the physics and chemistry departments to provide training in chemical physics. It includes most courses that are required for a regular Bachelor of Science degree in physics, adding several courses in physical chemistry/analytical chemistry. The option prepares you for research into the structure of matter using a wide range of spectroscopic and computational methods, and for graduate studies in chemical physics, physical chemistry and atomic and molecular physics.This program offers introductory physics in a lecture and studio format ? an active learning environment that includes group work and labs, all in a single room with a professor and graduate teaching assistants. The style allows for a coherent, connected and supportive experience. One studio course integrates the study of calculus and physics, for a deeper understanding of both subjects. You?ll have many research opportunities with physics faculty and research scientists, working on projects funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education, Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health and other agencies and organizations. You?ll learn how to approach, analyze and solve complex problems as you develop new technologies, methods and theories that will prepare you for a range of careers in research, engineering and education.
