Bachelor of Science in Physics

After three semesters of basic Physics and Calculus, candidates for the Bachelor of Science in Physics study Modern Physics, Electronics, Classical Mechanics and Electromagnetism, Statistical Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics. In addition, students do Advanced Laboratory work, and participate in at least two semesters of research. (All students must present their research at Truman's Undergraduate Research Symposium, and many present at state-wide or national meetings.)

Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Science in Physics at Truman are well prepared for graduate work in a quality program. Recent physics graduates from Truman are in or have completed graduate programs at, for example, University of California at Berkeley, University of Colorado, Oregon State, Ohio State, Iowa State, Cornell, University of Missouri, and Washington University.
