Bachelor of Science in Physics

Description

The program leading to the degree of BS Physics shall provide the students with a comprehensive and rigorous training in physics education and research as a foundation for careers in pure and applied physics or interdisciplinary sciences. The students will receive thorough instruction on the fundamentals of physics and advanced physics courses, such as mathematical physics, theoretical mechanics, electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, thermal and statistical mechanics, solid state physics, photonics, computational physics, among others.

The program provides knowledge and training that caters to the need of the corporate industry focused on the sports and wellness course.

Graduates of this program may have good preparation for career options in the corporate industry such as Fitness and Wellness Supervisors, Gym Managers, Recreation Directors, Corporate Wellness Trainers, Supervisors and Managers, Sports Complex Administrators, Events/Tournament Coordinators and Directors, Corporate Human Resource Development Officers, Sports Tourism Officers, Sports and Wellness Facilities Managers.

The program would be sufficient to enable the students to pursue areas such as:

• Advanced physics research
• University physics teaching
• Graduate studies
• Employment in physics-related jobs in business, industry or the government

Physics is closely related to the fields of engineering (electrical, mechanical, chemical), materials science, mathematics, physical chemistry, data science, meteorology, biophysics, among others.

Program Educational Objectives

Within five (5) years after graduation, graduates of this program shall have:

• Undertaken, singly or in teams, projects or research that show ability to solve problems in Physics and/or other related fields
• Demonstrated professional success via promotions and/or positions of increasing responsibility
• Had substantial involvement in projects that take into consideration safety, health, environmental concerns and the public welfare, partly through adherence to required codes and laws.
• Demonstrated life-long learning with progress towards fellowship to any accredited Physics or Science Societies, locally or abroad.
• Exhibited professional behavior and attitude in the practice.
• Initiated and implemented actions toward the improvement of science, Physics in particular.
