Engineering Physics
B.S. in Engineering Physics The Engineering Physics major is physics with an emphasis on applications to practical problems in science and engineering. It is designed to prepare you for advanced study in physics, engineering, or other scientific disciplines, or for employment in a wide variety of technical settings. The curriculum contains a solid foundation in physics, deeper than what is obtained typically in a standard engineering program. This stronger foundation in basic science makes students more agile in mastering new topics, technologies, and techniques throughout their careers. Core courses from engineering…
Physics
B.A. in Physics The Physics major provides a rigorous grounding in fundamental physics, fosters critical thinking and creative problem solving, and provides broad practical training in science and technology. It is designed to prepare you for advanced study in a variety of disciplines, for employment in industry, or for teaching at the secondary level. Physics graduates are in high demand in any area where analytical thinking and problem solving are important, and our students have also gone on to careers…
Physics (Minor)
Minor in Physics A minor in Physics is a great way to demonstrate an interest in and aptitude for a challenging STEM field and deepen your knowledge of fundamental science. In recent years, students majoring in programs as diverse as Computer Science and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology have taken minors in Physics. At Otterbein, the Physics Minor consists of the year-long lecture/lab sequence in general physics, plus PHYS 2700 – Modern Physics and two additional elective courses. Course Catalog > Programs in…
Physics Degree with Secondary Teaching Licensure
Physics Degree with Secondary Teaching Licensure Adding a Secondary Teaching Licensure component to your physics major prepares you for teaching physics at the secondary level (grades 7-12). See the Department of Education site for requirements for students seeking licensure in physics. Students must meet both the requirements for a B.A. in Physics and the requirements for teacher licensure. To be recommended for licensure a student must have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or better, have a 2.5 grade point…
