This program offers introductory physics in a lecture and studio format — an active learning environment that includes group work and labs, all in a single room with a professor and graduate teaching assistants. The style allows for a coherent, connected and supportive experience. One studio course integrates the study of calculus and physics, for a deeper understanding of both subjects. You’ll have a unique opportunity to work with advisors to design an interdisciplinary degree program that will prepare you for your long term academic and career goals. And you’ll have access to a plethora of research opportunities with award-winning faculty, where you’ll learn how to approach, analyze and solve complex problems for agencies like NASA. You’ll also assist in developing new technologies, methods and theories that will prepare you for a range of careers in research, engineering and education.

A student must have a minimum grade of C in each 400- or 500-level courses that are part of the core requirements and an overall grade-point average of 2.33 in these courses in order to continue in the program.
