Program for non-majors
The Physics Department offers two two-semester survey courses,
Physics 111-112 (no calculus) and Physics 113-116 (calculus). In
addition, the physics department offers stand-alone laboratory courses, Physics 121-122
or Physics 123-124. Notice that the laboratory courses are not
associated with the physics lecture courses. These may satisfy the physics requirement for admission
to schools of medicine, dentistry, or architecture. For further
details the physics department encourages you to clarify requirements
with the respective medical, dental or architectural schools.
There are also one-semester
courses, designed for the non-specialist, that investigate a more restricted
area of physics in greater detail. For help in deciding which of these
course options is best suited to your needs and interests, please consult the
departmental adviser or the professors in charge of these various offerings.
