BS Physics
Objective
Within 4 to 5 years of students graduating with a degree from Physics at TUF, an alumnus should have the knowledge and skills to:
• Find and evaluate data, models, hypotheses, and conclusions published in publicly available scientific literature. Apply knowledge and techniques from physics, mathematics, and computing to help solve scientific problems.
• Conduct an independent scientific investigations.
• Make cogent presentations of scientific data, observations, interpretations, and conclusions in written and oral formats.
• Be aware of scientific issues that affect society at large. Collaborate with others, including multidisciplinary groups, to solve scientific problems, and to recognize ethical issues in each respective profession.
• Understand the need for, and develop the abilities to engage in, lifelong learning.
