By working closely with a faculty adviser, transfer students can usually meet physics degree requirements in the same length of time needed by those who have been in the program since their freshman year. A large selection of courses is offered for students who do not plan to major in physics. In the clinic, students may receive free tutoring in all courses for non-majors. During the day, the staff of the clinic repeatedly go over material current in each of the courses, starting at the beginning of each scheduled hour. This provides the students with a wide choice of times and keeps tutoring groups small.
Students are welcome to come at any hour to listen to and participate in the ongoing discussion.
The objective is to improve the ability of the students to set up and solve problems.
