Physics |
Physics Add: PHYS 430 – Senior Seminar and Senior Thesis
The Senior Thesis is an undergraduate research project involving significant work in theory or experiment beyond that normally expected of students in junior/senior advanced undergraduate physics laboratory classes (such as PHYS 327 – Techniques for Experimental Physics). A formal paper describing the project, surveying the appropriate literature on the topic and discussing the results must be submitted to the department. The paper must be submitted no later than the end of the third week of the semester in which the student intends to graduate. Approval of the paper by a majority of the full-time physics faculty is required for graduation with the Physics major.
Students will be able to fulfill the required research component either by working with one of the Concordia faculty on their current research or by participating in a department approved research experience off-campus.
The new major in physics would be 13.5 course credits with 4 additional required supporting courses in Math. |
