Overview
We offer three different majors in this Physics department. This includes physics, astrophysics, and math-physics. The math-physics major was created in collaboration with the math department at Agnes Scott College. Students pursuing the dual degree programs in engineering and computer science take classes in our department and many choose to major in math-physics due to its flexibility and overlap with the dual-degree requirements.
In this program, you’ll develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills in the classroom and laboratory. Courses cover the theory of motion, waves, electromagnetism, thermal phenomena, quantum physics, relativity, electronics, programming, and methods of experimentation.
