Overview
Students will develop a high level of mathematical skills and become accomplished at oral and written communications. Laboratory skills are emphasized through dedicated courses with research-grade equipment including four semesters of research under faculty mentorship.
The curriculum is guided by the vision to provide both, a background in applications of physics for students seeking employment in industry as well as a solid foundation for graduate study in physics or related fields. For the Bachelor of Science, students are not expected to specialize in a branch of physics. However, the curriculum has room for electives. Recommended electives are listed for students seeking employment or further studies in engineering, computational, medical, or atmospheric physics. About half of SD Mines Physics majors continue on to graduate school, with placement typically 100% for students applying.
