MAJOR/ASSOCIATED COURSES FOR THE
BACHELOR OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN PHYSICS
PHARMACEUTICAL PHYSICAL SCIENCE
BY LEVEL AND SEQUENCE
This is an exciting new (honors-level) concentration exclusively intended for entering (or transferring) students with advanced standing in calculus (i.e. A.P. Calculus) sufficient for being excused from having to take any calculus courses at TSU. Students will complete all core courses and designated physics and mathematics courses within three years (20 semester hours for each of the six semesters matriculated). The program emphasizes a full five semester load of physics (including quantum physics), and heavy loads in biology and chemistry courses. Additional courses in C++ programming and Bioinformatics are required. The intent is to produce students who would like to enter graduate programs in pharmaceutical sciences (i.e. drug design, etc.), pharmacology, quantum chemistry, or molecular biophysics. Admission to this concentration is both competitive and selective. All eligible students will qualify for full scholarship and a living allowance. Admitted students will be expected to maintain a B average in all science, math, and computer science courses, and an overall average of C+ in all courses. The credit load is 121 credit hours over three years. Students may elect to spread the load over four years, if desired.
