Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Physics, Physics of Medicine (POM) Pre-Professional Major Track] From Rockhurst University

It follows that one objective of the physics program is to provide students with a competence and base of knowledge sufficient for their specific requirements. Physics, however, is more than the basic science: it is an art combining techniques (including logical and analytical reasoning, careful observation, experimentation and mathematical model-building) that can be valuable assets in any field of endeavor.

A second objective, then, is to educate the student in the basic art of formulating and solving problems. Finally, the basic theories of physics provide a way of perceiving the natural world. Thus, the ultimate objective of the study of physics is to provide the student with a way to appreciate and engage the world with greater understanding.

The Physics of Medicine Pre-Professional Major Track is intended for students interested in attending graduate school in healthcare/medicine.
