It is the most popular choice for students preparing for advanced degrees at Rensselaer and elsewhere. The curriculum includes 40 credits of required courses in Physics including a capstone experience that can be fulfilled by completing research or course work. In addition, Physics students must take at least 24 credits in Mathematics, 12 credits in other sciences (Biology, Chemistry, and Computer Science), plus 24 credits in the humanities and social sciences (HASS). 

Students are challenged to study science beginning with the fundamental aspects, proceeding on to subjects with modern applications.

Our undergraduate program welcomes first year students to the department in a semester course called “Passion for Physics”.  In this course students are introduced to research opportunities by Physics Faculty.  In the junior year, our undergraduate program features a culminating experience project, which allows students to gain research experience in an area of interest.  These experiences allow students to prepare for careers in academia or industry.
