This interdisciplinary concentration builds on the strong foundation of core physics course work by incorporating additional course work in Chemistry and Biology. Students who complete the Pre-Medical Physics concentration will be competitive for entering graduate programs in medical physics or medical colleges. The core topics of physics include: mechanics (motion, forces, and energy); thermodynamics, sound, and light; electricity and magnetism; relativity and quantum mechanics. The modern areas of physics research are: astrophysics and general relativity; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; biophysics; condensed matter physics (e.g. magnetism, semiconductors, superconductors); nuclear physics; particle physics; and plasma physics. The UNF B.S. physics programs focus on preparing graduates for employment in a wide array of technical and non-technical fields. Click on the Students tab of the Career Services webpage for major exploration and employment information. Students should refer to their personalized Degree Evaluation provided by an academic advisor and to other university resources for additional university and college-specific policies. Visit the undergraduate university catalog for more information. Summer terms may be utilized to facilitate graduation in four years.
