Computational Physics Track

Computational Physics has become an essential approach to physics, both for data analysis and for exact solutions of theoretical models that are not analytically solvable.  Thus, computational skills are valuable for physicists pursuing either a theoretical or experimental focus.  The computational physics track encourages students to develop essential programming skills along with the algorithmic methods commonly used in different areas of physics.

Students should complete the physics gateway, core, and lab requirements as described in the physics track.

Electives:

Up to 2 elective credits can come from outside Physics.  Suggested electives are listed below.  Due to yearly changes in course availability, there may be courses not listed below that are appropriate as an elective. Consult with your Physics advisor if you wish to consider other non-physics courses as an elective.
