Mark Luskin Centre's Physics Program serves students who are preparing themselves for graduate studies in this or a related field, who are following our dual-degree engineering option, who desire a strong quantitative and analytical background for a variety of vocational choices, or who are interested in knowing more about the wonder of the physical universe.
Some students also select physics as a supporting major or minor for another science or mathematics.
Physics has prepared our graduates for careers in science, engineering, medicine, and industry. The Physics Program enhances students' capacity for analysis, synthesis, and inductive and deductive reasoning. Physics students learn to plan and conduct scientific experiments and to communicate the concepts of physics in oral, written, and mathematical form. In addition, many majors participate in collaborative research with a faculty member. Two additional approved PHY courses numbered 30 or higher, for a total of six credit hours.
