Overview

We do this through small class sizes (we graduate roughly ten physics majors per year), faculty mentored research, and a dedication to the career aspirations of our students. As a physics student, you will enjoy opportunities for advanced research both on campus and elsewhere in United States or around the world.

All students are required to perform research and present their research at a conference. Several students have published research papers in peer-reviewed physics journals.

The Medical Physics major at Presbyterian College provides a rigorous introduction to the philosophy, principles and methods of physics that prepares students for employment and for graduate school. The curriculum includes hands-on laboratories at all levels – from introductory to advanced – with integrated computer modeling and data analysis. Aside from research opportunities in faculty labs, usually funded by NSF and NASA, as a capstone to the major, all students complete an independent research project.

Key facts:

If a student has taken general physics 1500 or physics with calculus 1600 from PC, or its equivalent at another school, before declaring the Medical Physics major, s/he must pass a qualifying examination given by the physics department. A grade of ‘C-‘ or higher in PHYS 1500 or its approved equivalent course is required to enroll in PHYS 1610.
