BA in physics through a 3+2 Program at Truman State University

Truman State University provides opportunities for students to earn a BA in physics degree through a 3+2 program. The BA in physics through the 3+2 program is set up to mirror the physics and LSP requirements of the standard path of BA in physics at Truman. To earn a BA degree from Truman a student satisfies physics, language and LSP requirements in addition to physics electives and a learning plan. The learning plan provides flexibility to students in charting a set of courses to prepare them better for future careers in medicine, law, engineering or other professions. While the physics electives and learning plans in the regular path of BA are satisfied by courses at Truman approved by physics faculty, a student in the 3+2 program is allowed flexibility of completing them at an Engineering school with courses approved by the Truman physics faculty. Typically a student in the 3+2 program submits his/her proposal for the learning plan and the physics elective substitution courses to the Engineering Program Coordinator in the physics discipline (currently Dr. Mohammad Samiullah) who sets up a committee to review the request whose recommendation is further reviewed by the Dean of Science and Vice President of Academic Affairs for full approval. In this web site you will find a Graduation Checklist, and Approval Form and Degree Worksheet. The degree worksheet must be completed and submitted to the Registrar. A student interested in 3+2 should follow the following steps.

1. Indicate his/her intention to his/her academic advisor.

2. Consult the Graduation Checklist and Degree Worksheet, and plan courses accordingly. See the links below.

3. Complete the Degree Worksheet and submit to the Registrar.

4. Complete the Approval Form and submit to the Engineering Program Coordinator.

5. Keep the Registrar and the Engineering Program Coordinator informed of any further developments afterwards.
