Planning Your Program
Richmond offers three majors, one dual degree and one minor through the physics department. Once students declare the physics major, typically some time during their sophomore year, they are assigned a faculty member who will serve as their advisor and help them develop a program of study to achieve their educational goals.
The curriculum primarily consists of classes in mathematics and physics, though some students may choose to integrate courses in other scientific fields.
In addition to demanding coursework, students enjoy unparalleled opportunities for research and experiential learning that reinforce the material they are learning in the classroom. This dual emphasis in classical learning and research is what makes University of Richmond physics majors so successful after graduation.
