Double Major Program in Physics
Physics Department views its own program as a well suiting opportunity for the students from other departments who are willing to pursue training in a second major program. Physics has become closely associated on one side with technology and on the other side with social sciences which derive insights and adapt methods from fundamental developments in physics.
The program consists of all courses in the undergraduate curriculum. The equivalency of the courses will be determined by the Department.
