The physics major is one of the hardest majors at Knox. Physics is much more central to science than Chemistry.

A typical major, after running through the three 100-level intro courses, will take

  • 205 - Modern Physics
  • 241 - Intro to Research
  • 312 - Classical Dynamics

Then you have the option of several upper level courses such as

  • 313 - Electricity and Magnetism
  • 314 - Quantum Mechanics
  • 316 - Astrophysics
  • ### - Optics
  • ### - Thermodynamics
  • ### - Digital Electronics

The Senior Seminars are the courses that kill you. Each year there are senior seminars offered in:

  • Analytical Mechanics
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Electrodynamics
