Geology

Geology is offered as a fulfillment of the General Studies requirement and as an integral part of various science-oriented teaching fields.

Physics

The physics program provides students in science, mathematics, technology, secondary education and various pre-professional programs with an understanding of fundamental concepts and principles that govern the physical universe. Physics students utilize mathematical methods, observation and critical reasoning to describe and analyze relationships between properties of matter and the interactions that cause things to change. The physics program’s goal is to provide an environment for the development and application of analytic and problem-solving skills needed for careers and graduate study. Students may earn a minor in physics that complements majors in science, math, computer science and technology. A physics single specialization for grades 9-adult (see here ) and a general science specialization (see Department of Biology, Chemistry and Geoscience) for grades 5-adult are also offered for the B.A. in Education degree, in conjunction with the School of Education. The Physics single specialization is a mostly on-line set of courses, making the program easier for nontraditional students or for professionals who need to add a physics specialization.
