Physics Degree
Program Description
The Department of Mathematics and Physics offers a wide range of courses for many majors, known as liberal arts education, which emphasizes broad exposure to various disciplines like humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to cultivate critical thinking and provide foundational knowledge at Texas A&M International University. The courses are chosen to give the student a solid foundation in the concepts of classical and modern physics and to assist the student in developing the necessary analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills in the classrooms and laboratories. Laboratory courses will complement this experience with further opportunities to develop experimental skills and a working knowledge of advanced technology in group and individual settings. Students are strongly encouraged to further develop these skills by participating in advanced experimental, analytical, or computational research under the supervision of a faculty mentor.
It also offers a minor degree program in Applied Physics. The minor in Applied Physics currently consists of 20 SCH, 12 of which must be at the advanced level.
