Secondary Education Emphasis

Bachelor of Science in Education

This schedule outlines only the physics courses and math pre-requisites for a physics major in secondary education. The required education courses and liberal electives must also be worked into the schedule.

Four-Year Course Plan

Below is a typical four-year course plan for the College of Letters and Sciences physics major with the education emphasis.

	Fall	Spring
Freshman	Math 171, Calc I, 4 cr. Phys/Ast 191, 5 cr.	Math 172, Calc II, 4 cr. Phys/Ast 192, 5 cr.
Sophomore	Phys/Ast 206, Modern Physics, 3 cr. Phys/Ast 305*, Circuits & Devices, 3 cr. Math 273, Calc. III, 4 cr.	Phys/Ast 222. Lab. I, 2cr. Phys/Ast 320, Classical Physics, 3 cr. Math 371, Diff. Eq., 3 cr.
Junior	Phys/Ast 307*, Optics, 3 cr.
Senior	Phys/Ast 408*, Stat. Mech,/Thermo. 3 cr.	Phys/Ast 322, Lab II, 2 cr. Phys/Ast 355, Lab & Demo, 3 cr.

Notes

An additional six hours of physics electives is required. The above only lists courses required as part of the secondary education emphasis. Requirements for licensure will typically require a fifth year of study.

Courses above marked with “*” are offered every 4th semester:

305, Circiuts & Devices, Fall of Even years
307, Optics: Fall of odd years
355, Lab & Demo: Spring of odd years
408, Thermo, Fall of even years

Other Electives:

203, Intro to Astrophysics
310, Stellar Structure and Evolution
311, Digital Electronics
313, Galaxy and Star Formation
319*, Digital Signal Processing
405*, Interfacing
417*, Electricity & Magnetism
419*, Quantum Mechanics
451, Special Topics
