Physics offers majors in physics and in pre-engineering. Students majoring in either field must have a minimum grade point average of 2.00 in all physics courses and must take a comprehensive examination in physics.

The requirements for certification (teaching internship) will be completed on a post-baccalaureate, graduate credit basis, with the student becoming eligible for certification at the end of fall term following graduation. Refer to the Education section of this catalog for specific requirements for admission to the Teacher Education Program  and other pertinent information.
