Bachelor of Science [B.S] (Physics - Biophysics Concentration)
Field of Study:
$22,586/Yr
- The Department has formulated three broad educational goals for the undergraduate degree programs:
- Physics knowledge.To provide students with the basic foundation in physics and astronomy, the scientific method (especially the interplay of theory and experiment), and to motivate scientific enthusiasm and curiosity and the joy of learning.
- Problem solving skills. To provide students with the tools needed to analyze problems, apply mathematical formalism and experimentation, and synthesize ideas.
- Employment and technical skills. To provide the students with technical skills necessary for successful careers in physics/astronomy and related fields (goal for B.S. degrees) or alternative careers for which a physics foundation can be very useful (goal of B.A. degree). These include mathematics, computers, electronics and devices, and communication skills (oral and written).
- The specific Student Learning Outcomes that are assessed by instructors of the 300-400 level classes that form the core of our major programs are (some are not relevant to certain classes):
- Students will demonstrate an understanding of concepts of physics
- Students will show understanding of the interplay between theory and experiment
- Students will exhibit curiosity and enthusiasm for learning science
- Students will demonstrate an ability to analyze problems
- Students will successfully carry out experiments to arrive at scientific results
- Students will successfully apply computing tools to problems
- Students will communicate well, orally and in writing, in a scientific context
- Students will be able to use laboratory devices and electronics in scientific applications

Eligibility & Entry Requirement
-
English - 4 units with at least 1 composition course in the 11th or 12th grade.
-
Mathematics - 4 units: Typically college preparatory courses at the Algebra I content/skill level and higher. Courses such as Algebra-I, Geometry, Algebra-II, Statistics, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus are considered traditional college preparatory courses. A course in which content/skill levels fall between Algebra-I and Geometry, or Geometry and Algebra-II, will be evaluated to determine if the course satisfies content requirements.
-
Social Science - 3 units: one unit should be U.S. History, other courses might include additional history courses, sociology and psychology.
-
Physical Science - 3 units: two courses should be laboratory science such as Biology, Chemistry or Physics. Other courses might include Earth Science, Geology, Physical Science, anatomy, and astronomy.
-
Foreign Language - 2 units of a single language other than English or demonstrated proficiency equal to a typical second level course.
