在校园
物理学位(学士和理学学士)
物理学学位为许多领域提供了基础, 因为在内心深处, 这是对事物如何运作的研究. Creighton’s Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Science in Physics (BSPhys) touch on important philosophical questions in theories of relativity and quantum mechanics and using mathematics, 计算机和仪器作为研究工具.
主修物理使你对自然有深刻的了解, 在职业选择上有很大的灵活性, 以及在就业市场上的卓越实力和稳定性. Creighton’s physics program offers a hands-on learning experience that will help you prepare for your next step, 不管是工作还是深造.
计划的细节
拥有物理学位，您将学习:
- 物理学各主要领域的基本概念
- 如何运用多个物理领域的概念来解决问题
- 概念性问题解决
- 数学在物理中的应用
- 实验室所需的设计、测量和分析技术
- 如何作为团队的一员工作
- 如何综合现有知识并将其应用于新情况
- 如何解决物理科学中的伦理问题
- 如何有效地呈现定量研究的结果
皇冠体育博彩大学在本科物理课程中提供了两条路径. The two paths are similar, but they’re designed to prepare you for different areas.
理学学士学位，主修物理专业
The Bachelor of Science (BS) with a physics major provides the necessary preparation for entry-level work as a physicist in government or industry. It also prepares you for entry-level work or graduate study in a wide variety of interdisciplinary science and engineering fields, 包括天文学和天体物理学, 计算物理学, 地球物理学, 行星科学, 电气工程, 核工程, 等. 也, the program is highly recommended for any career in which a liberal arts degree with a concentration in physics may be desirable–scientific writing and reporting, 犯罪学, 专利法, 科学设备销售, 高中物理教学(结合必修教育课程), 仅举几个例子. Students should work closely with their advisors in choosing electives to prepare for specific career goals.
物理学学士(BSPhy)，主修物理学
The Bachelor of Science in Physics (BSPhy) with a physics major provides a strong foundation for careers in the rapidly developing high-technology industries. 强烈推荐作为物理学研究生工作的准备. It also prepares students for graduate study in most engineering fields without requiring the early specialization, 典型的本科工程项目, 这会大大减少职业选择.
Take a closer look at the difference between these options by viewing the curriculum:
选择物理专业
宣布主修物理学, a student must have completed one of the general physics sequences: PHY 211 and PHY 212 or 213年体育 and PHY 214 或PHY 221 and PHY 212 or received an “A” or “B” in PHY 211, 213年体育, 或PHY 221.
教师认证
Students seeking certification in physics in secondary education must consult with the education department, the physics department and with the appropriate agency in the state in which they intend to teach.
Arts-Engineering程序
You may choose to transfer to an engineering school after graduation or at an earlier point in your academic career. If you wish to earn an engineering degree after earning a Creighton degree, you might consider the 应用物理分析专业.
You can also obtain the equivalent of one or two years of pre-engineering study and then transfer to an engineering school.
A study of the first-year program at the engineering college of your choice will reveal those variations, 你的日程安排中可以安排哪些. (Students wishing to spend a second year at Creighton before making application to an engineering school are advised to contact that school directly for explicit approval of a second-year schedule.)
克雷顿大学和 底特律-梅西工程学院，但学生不应认为这是他们唯一的选择.
如果你将来打算读研，为什么不早点开始呢?
Get a head start with one of our multiple master’s while finishing up your bachelor’s degree. 选择一个 中学教学教育硕士 并在你的教学准备中获得认可，或者开始朝着一个目标努力 医学物理学理学硕士.

物理小
The physics minor provides a thorough introduction to the theoretical and experimental methods extensively used by physical scientists and engineers. 你将培养实际的定量解决问题的能力, 与你的专业无关，哪些是有价值的. 查看物理辅修课程.
生物物理
The biological physics minor provides you with an opportunity to apply the concepts and methods of the physicist to advance your understanding of the life sciences. Students pursuing careers in medicine 或者是 life sciences can use this minor to improve their preparation f或者是 interdisciplinary nature of modern science. 参见生物物理辅修课程.
