Drexel University's BS in Physics provides a solid foundation in physics suitable for graduate study or as preparation for other scientific or technical disciplines. We offer an innovative curriculum in a top-notch learning environment: small class sizes, personal input from faculty, and close interaction with researchers who are leaders in their fields. Most of our undergraduates actively participate in research projects, including co-authoring publications and presenting results at conferences. PROGRAM FEATURES Physics majors enjoy the benefit of small classes, hands-on laboratories, and opportunities to engage in research under the guidance of faculty advisers. A dynamic freshmen physics sequence exposes our students to classical and modern physics right from the start. Elective sequences in biology are available for those preparing to enter biophysics or medicine, and advanced topics are available for those interested in atomic, nuclear, particle, solid-state or theoretical physics. We offer our majors the opportunity to take as broad a selection of courses as possible, providing choices in the curriculum. Scientific computing via Maple (mathematical and analytical software) and Python (computer programming language) are offered as subject courses. High-performance computational physics exposes students to numerical techniques, parallel processing, electronic communication, basic computer languages and software relevant to advanced studies and research in physics. The curriculum concludes with a capstone senior thesis project.
