It is assumed that the student
is pursuing a BS or a BA degree in the Department
of Mathematics and Computer Science in the McAnulty
College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts. Then,
the student may apply for an additional degree,
a BA in the Department of Physics in the Bayer
School of Natural and Environmental Sciences (BSNES).
The Dean of BSNES must approve the College CORE
courses selected by the student. This approval
should be obtained as early as possible, preferably
no later than the student's Sophomore year. Afer
the Dean's approval, the student will co-register
in the Department of Physics but will not take
the BSNES CORE.
The following Physics courses
are required for a BA in Physics, effective for
students entering Fall 2003:
