PROGRAMS
All physics majors take a core of courses that contains, in addition to the physics curriculum, two courses that focus on the mathematics required for physics, two upper-level laboratory experiences, a seminar course, and two research courses. Students can select from five emphasis areas, each of which adds specialized courses to the core. See below for four-year plans for each of the emphasis areas.
In addition, UNC offers a Masters Program in Science Education. This is a graduate interdisciplinary MA in Natural Sciences tailored for practicing science teachers. It is presented primarily online, making it flexible and convenient to attend around your schedule. Faculty from UNC’s science programs teach and advise for this degree program.
