About Bachelor of Arts and Science - English & Physics (Optional Co-op)
English is not just about the rhetorical and creative aspects of literature. It’s about examining history, culture, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and the human condition to determine what a text means in the context of when and where it was written, and how it relates to people today.
Language is the primary means of communicating values, ideals and vision. The study of English asks fundamental questions about literature and how humans express themselves and interact with others. It is the science of communication and critical inquiry.
Students will learn how people use language in the world at large, and consider the functions, structures and significance of literature over time. Students will develop an excellent foundation for a career in virtually any professional capacity due to the cross-disciplinary nature of this program.
Physics is the study of matter and energy at all scales, from the sub-nuclear to the dimensions of the universe. It is the fundamental science — all other sciences and technologies rely on the principles of physics.
Physics involves observing and understanding natural phenomena. It is evident in the world in everything from the seasons, the motion of objects, the flight of birds, the night sky and the weather, to lasers, electronics and the technology we rely on today.
Physics is very much a “hands-on” science, so the most effective way for students to learn the subject is to actually do physics. Astronomy teaches students how to study objects at a distance and interpret the information gathered. This helps to begin to understand the universe. The skills students will learn in astronomy are also applicable to remote sensing and its application to environmental problems.
The department offers a comprehensive physics major. The foundation of this program is built in the first two years, as students study mechanics, waves, electricity and magnetism, optics, thermal physics and modern physics.
In the third and fourth years, students will gain a deeper understanding of the fundamentals and delve into more advanced and specialized areas. Specialized topics may include the research interests of department faculty members, as all faculty members are involved in rigorous research programs.
Faculty members also ensure students are provided with a wide view of physics, exposing them to all areas of the subject and describing a wide variety of applications. This enables students to make informed decisions when choosing the areas they may wish to pursue in the future.
