Bachelor of Science in Physics

Within three to five years after obtaining a B.S. in Physics from the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Notre Dame University – Louaize, our typical graduate will be expected to achieve one or more of the following:

1. 1.Go on to graduate studies and succeed in producing new knowledge as demonstrated in publications;
2. 2.Be a successful physics school teacher as demonstrated in promotions and/or caliber of school he/she is working at;
3. 3.Be successful in industry as demonstrated in promotions, and/or caliber of companies he/she works for.

By the end of the program, students should:

1. 1.Demonstrate proficiency of a given body of knowledge and skills in physics, and be well prepared for professional careers and/or graduate study;
2. 2.Develop and demonstrate high-level cognitive thinking skills including critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and integrative thinking;
3. 3.Be effective communicators in their field of knowledge (write reports, present findings to peers, and explain physics to the general public);
4. 4.Demonstrate ethical values such as integrity and responsibility for the common good.
