• Have a functional knowledge of the basic areas of physics.
• Be able to integrate their knowledge with critical thinking skills in order to become problem solvers.
• Be able to clearly articulate scientific information, both orally and in writing.
• Be able to effectively use the scientific literature.

The bachelor of science degree is recommended for students interested
in seeking employment in industrial, governmental and private
organizations that require a strong scientific background.

A basic knowledge of mathematics is necessary for the study
of physics. The study of mathematics should begin in the
freshman year.
