The Department of Physics has
offered a four-year Bachelor of Science since 1976 and a
two-year Master of Science in Physics since 1991. Currently, there are
about 400 undergradu-ate students and 24 graduate students. The Master
of Science in Physics Studies program and the PhD program will be
started in 2004. |

Physics Program
The department aims to produce
physicists serving in both industrial and governmental sectors. Students
are expected to have enough background in physics and be able to apply
their knowledge to the fields of applied physics and engineering.
Students are required to complete at least 139 credits for graduation.
