Physics Curriculum

Our Academic Catalog shows paths for physics and engineering majors. It includes recommendations for when to take physics and math classes. It is good place to start for students making their 4 year plans.

Many of our students are interested in engineering, and stay with us for two, three, or four years before transferring to engineering schools. For more information, please see our Engineering page.

For students interested in astronomy, we also have a separate CSB+SJU Astronomy Department. We do not have an astronomy major, though we do regularly offer two introductory astronomy courses. The Physics Department also offers an elective in astrophysics once every few years.

Students interested in completing a 9-12 teaching licensure in Physics need to contact the Education Department Chair early in their program and review the requirements for the Secondary Education minor.
