his concentration emphasis a high level of training in advanced mathematical and computational physics. Students in this concentration are expected to continue onto the Ph.D. in physics at the elite universities; however, some may be eligible for immediate employment in industry and government in areas demanding computational modeling capabilities. Evidence of continued and increasing intellectual maturity is required for admission into this concentration. A senior level thesis is required (for two semesters), as well as participation in student led, senior year workshop/seminars. The number of credit hours required is 121.
