The B.S program offers the choice of a broad track and three specializations - astronomy, condensed matter, and education. The B.S. program, with two credit hours of research and a minimum of 39 to 45 credit hours of physics coursework, depending on the track, is recommended for students interested in pursuing employment in science and technology, or advanced degrees in physics, astronomy, chemistry, engineering, and secondary education. Physics seeks the answers to the most fundamental questions in nature, thereby opening new and often unforeseeable paths to the future of knowledge and technology. A Physics degree is either an end in itself for individuals interested in contributing skill and expertise to science and technology businesses, or a solid foundation for those seeking advanced degrees, not only in academic disciplines such as physics, astronomy, chemistry, atmospheric sciences and mathematics, but also in professional fields as diverse as engineering, medicine, business, dentistry and law. Physics graduates across the nation opt for one or the other career path in roughly equal numbers. Students in the Physics programs at Duquesne enjoy the many benefits of a small student-to-faculty ratio: student-centered instruction, close mentoring by faculty, hands-on learning, participation in ongoing research of the Department, and attention to individual needs and interests. Besides a strong traditional component, the curriculum offers a selection of unconventional physics electives specifically designed to bring the leading edge of the field into the classroom. Learning Outcomes: At the conclusion of our program, our graduates will be able to: Describe physical concepts and apply them to solve problems in their professional environment and in ordinary life situations. Communicate about physics effectively with an audience of physicists through oral and written means. Engage effectively in collaborative professional enterprises.
