Courses
We offer a wide array of courses and seminars ranging from introductory courses for non-majors to advanced electives, directed readings, research for credit, and laboratory instruction.
Information on the courses below and the study requirements for majors/minors (both course and honors) can be found in the Physics and Astronomy section of the College's online Course Catalog.
Many classes have math prerequisites, which are listed in the course catalog descriptions; please see the Math Department course listing. Here is a complete listing of the courses we are offering this semester. At the bottom of the page is the list of last semester's courses (which will be quite similar to next semester's).
