The combined engineering/physics degree program involves 3 years of
work at James Madison University toward a B.S. in Physics. During this
time, the student completes the core curriculum, all general education
requirements, a course in differential equations, and 12 additional
credits in physics as approved by their advisor and department head. The
physics courses must be completed with a minimum B+ average. After the
third year, the student has the right to apply for admission to the
Graduate Program at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and
Applied Sciences. A
total of 37 credit hours of physics or other physics-related courses taken
at either school will be required for the JMU Bachelor of Science degree
in physics.
Notes:
- Most of the courses listed on the grid above are in the semester in
which they are offered (odd = fall, even = spring). For instance, PHYS
460 is only offered in the spring semester.
- The grid above is only one way in which this program may be
completed and there are other possibilities which include all these same
courses. Talk to you advisor if you have questions.
- PHYS 498 is shown in the fall of year 4, but may be completed in any
semester or over the summer. We recommend that you become involved in
research as early as possible if it interests you.
- CHEM 131 and 132 may be taken during the first year if desired but
should not be delayed until after the second year without good reason.
- The engineering programs that are available upon enrolling at the
University of Virginia include biomedical, environmental,
transportation, materials science, systems engineering and engineering
physics.
- For further details about this program please contact Dr. J. Rudmin,
