Complete the applicable capstone requirements. Physics Major Core Requirements
(57 credits)
The following courses are required of all physics options: Capstone Experience
The departmental capstone requirement is the culmination of the undergraduate educational experience. In the junior year, students must register for PH 331 in winter and PH 332 in spring; these courses will familiarize students with the research of three different faculty members. During the second half of the spring quarter, students submit a capstone proposal for departmental approval after consulting with an appropriate faculty member who has agreed to assume supervisory responsibility. During the senior year, students earn 3–6 credits for the capstone project through approved activities. Possible capstone experiences include an approved independent research project, practicum project, cooperative education experience, or summer internship program. Upon completion, the project should be described and analyzed through a written and oral report to the department and an approved group of peers. |
