Schedule of Upper Level Courses
The upper-level physics courses are typically offered on either a 2-semester or 4-semester rotation. The following is a preliminary list of what courses will be offered each semester.
NOTE THAT THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Check with Dr. Luttermoser, Dr. Giroux, or Dr. Smith for any changes. ***Change made in August 2022: Biophysics will NOT be taught in Spring 2023; it will be taught in Fall 2023. Computational Physics will be taught in Spring 2023 instead, and not in Fall 2023. Also, PHYS 3410 (Advanced Physics Lab) will not be taught during Spring 2023. See the revisions made in boldface below.****
