Program Description

UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE.

Physics ranges from the study of the inconceivably tiny to the mind-bogglingly huge. It’s a vast subject – and if you have the patience to unlock its secrets, vastly rewarding. Studying physics will greatly enhance your reasoning skills and boost your abilities at problem-solving. It also will offer a whole new perspective on the universe around you.

The physics curriculum at Oglethorpe is rigorous and comprehensive: it includes coursework in mechanics, electronics, electricity and magnetism, thermal and statistical physics, optics, theoretical and experimental physics, and other special topics and electives.

But what really sets physics at Oglethorpe apart? For one, it’s the valuable individual mentoring and student-focused instruction. Physics can be a challenging subject – but it’s a lot easier if you have access to your professors when you need some extra help. Our approach emphasizes the application of physical principles to real-world problems, turning the theoretical and abstract into the accessible and concrete.

The Physics and Liberal Studies program allows students the flexibility of obtaining a broad liberal education with a concentration in the physical sciences. In this program, students combine an individualized course of study in physics with a concentration in another discipline, such as business, philosophy, or communication. This program leaves students prepared to enter careers in public policy, consulting, or K-12 education.

Since the introductory-level physics lecture courses require certain prerequisites in math, it’s essential that aspiring physics majors take the math placement exam during their first semester at Oglethorpe, or earlier.
