Upon completion of the program students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate a basic level of scientific literacy in physics, conceptual understanding of fundamental physics principles, awareness of different fields of physics and corresponding job opportunities. 
  • Apply the scientific method, qualitative and quantitative reasoning, advanced mathematical and numerical techniques to find solutions to problems relevant to their future careers and current events. 
  • Collaborate as part of a team to conduct lab experiments, measure real-world physical behavior, interpret experimental data using modern statistical tools, and communicate their findings effectively. 
  • Critically evaluate the treatment of physics in media and public policy, and demonstrate a basic understanding of how to engage in physics in an ethical and socially responsible way.
