Physics is the study of how the world works. It is the science that seeks to understand the laws of nature, and the relationship between energy and matter. Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies and black holes to the smallest subatomic particles. It is the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology and astronomy, and can be applied to biology or medical science.<\/p>\n<h4>Why study Physics at KWU?<\/h4>\n<p>Physics majors at KWU have the opportunity to study in small classes, allowing them to be known by the faculty members and receive individualized instruction and mentoring for their educational path and career choices. Students also have the opportunity to get involved in the Math and Physics Club, where they can acquire leadership skills and develop their networking abilities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/academics\/programs\/undergraduate\/physics\/?ecopen=engineering-dual-degree#engineering-dual-degree\">You also have the added benefit of pursuing an engineering degree through KWU&#8217;s dual-degree partnership with Washington University!<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>What can you do with a Physics Degree?<\/h4>\n<p>Experience in physics teaches students how to analyze situations logically and with a problem-solving approach. Basic physics can be applied to most other fields of science.<\/p>\n<p>Students with a physics degree have gone on to pursue graduate studies in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Physics<\/li>\n<li>Engineering<\/li>\n<li>Mathematics<\/li>\n<li>Medicine<\/li>\n<li>Law<\/li>\n<li>Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-21050\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/113A0457-600x338.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/113A0457-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/113A0457-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/113A0457-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/113A0457-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/113A0457-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/113A0457-400x225.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n\t<div class=\"course-formats\">\n\t\t<h4>This program is offered:<\/h4>\n\t\t<ul class=\"format-list\"><li><div class=\"img-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/icon-oncampus.svg\" alt=\"LOGO\"><\/div><h5>On Campus<\/h5><\/li><\/ul>\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"block expand-collapse align default bg-color-default\">\n  <div class=\"block-wrap\">\n          <div class=\"description-wrap cf\">\n        <h3>About the Physics Program<\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"item\">\n            <p id=\"physics-core-requirements\" class=\"expand-collapse-title\">\n              <a href=\"?ecopen=physics-core-requirements#physics-core-requirements\" title=\"Show Details\">\n                <span>Physics Core Requirements<\/span>\n              <\/a>\n            <\/p>\n            <div class=\"expand-collapse-description\">\n              <div class=\"description-wrap cf\">\n                <h3>Core Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>The student must take all of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p>CHEM 123 General Chemistry I<br \/>\nCHEM 124 General Chemistry II<br \/>\nCOMP 137 Data Science with Beginning Python Programming<br \/>\nMATH 145 Calculus I<br \/>\nMATH 245 Calculus II<br \/>\nMATH 246 Calculus III<br \/>\nMATH 251 Elementary Differential Equations<br \/>\nPHYS 221^ General Physics I<br \/>\nPHYS 222^ General Physics II<br \/>\nPHYS 227 Modern Physics<br \/>\nPHYS 250^ Physics Seminar<br \/>\nPHYS 265 Scientific Programming: Modeling<br \/>\nPHYS 321 Classical Mechanics<br \/>\nPHYS 340 Advanced Physics Laboratory I<br \/>\nPHYS 440 Advanced Physics Laboratory II<br \/>\nPHYS 486 Physics Capstone I<br \/>\nPHYS 496 Physics Capstone Project<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Last updated: Sept. 3, 2025 \u2013 While every effort is made to update on an annual basis, occasionally there may be delays.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kwu.edu\/academics\/registrar\/course-catalogs\/\">Visit the KWU Course Catalog<\/a>\u00a0for the latest information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"item\">\n            <p id=\"applied-physics-concentration\" class=\"expand-collapse-title\">\n              <a href=\"?ecopen=applied-physics-concentration#applied-physics-concentration\" title=\"Show Details\">\n                <span>Applied Physics Concentration<\/span>\n              <\/a>\n            <\/p>\n            <div class=\"expand-collapse-description\">\n              <div class=\"description-wrap cf\">\n                <p>The Applied Physics concentration is intended for students to develop mastery in physics while gaining practical expertise in a complementary field such as biology, chemistry, environmental studies, or computer studies.
