Why Utica University
Utica University's physics courses offer a robust introduction to the science of the physical world. From the basic structure of atoms and matter to the complex interactions of galaxies, our program provides students with an opportunity to explore the fundamental nature of the physical universe. With accomplished faculty members and an individualized learning environment, the Utica physics program is an excellent choice for students considering graduate school as well as careers in research, teaching, engineering, 或者其他需要坚实的物理科学基础的领域.
The mission of the Physics Department 是为整个利记sbo社区服务. With a comprehensive and rigorous curriculum that offers several degree options, 还有特殊的转学机会, 物理课程为物理专业的学生做准备, minors, 以及工程预科学生的就业机会. 物理课程为其他专业的学生做准备, including chemistry, biology, mathematics, computer science, construction management, and health sciences, 有了物理学的背景,他们需要在各自的领域取得成功. The Physics Department is committed to providing provocative core courses that fulfill the general science requirements for non-science students.

Vision
At the Department of Physics at Utica University, we value and nurture each student in our programs. We empower students to build thriving careers grounded in a deep understanding of physics knowledge and related skills. We are committed to fostering robust reasoning abilities while developing effective communication, persistence, 致力于包容性合作. 我们的毕业生是多才多艺的问题解决者, equipped not only with the technical expertise to excel in diverse fields but also with the interpersonal skills and resilience to navigate an ever-evolving global landscape.
The 3 + 2工程转学选项 allows students to earn a B. A. in Physics at Utica University and a second bachelor's degree (typically a B. S. or a B. E.我在另一所学校攻读工程学. While at Utica, students have the advantages of small classes and close contact with faculty members as they master their foundation courses in science, mathematics, and introductory engineering. 当这门课程完成后, 加上通识教育的要求,总共至少96小时, the student will transfer to an engineering school where they enroll in engineering courses (specifics will depend upon program). Upon the completion of 32 hours at the transfer institution (and receipt of an official transcript), the student will earn their B. A. 利记sbo物理系毕业. When the student has satisfied the requirements from the engineering school, 他们将获得第二个工程学学位. Students completing this program will have earned both a liberal arts degree and an engineering degree. The 3 + 2 program combines the strengths of a well-rounded liberal arts education at Utica and the specialization one can gain from an Engineering institution.
