Physics and Engineering Curriculum

The McMurry Physics Program

The curriculum in physics and engineering physics is designed to prepare students for a diverse range of career options: graduate study in physics or astronomy, graduate study in a related science such as geophysics, meteorology, graduate study in engineering, graduate study in physics/science education, industrial physics positions, or positions in science-related business fields. Opportunities for student research and internships in science-related industry are also available. 

The study of physics and engineering requires a strong mathematics background, and the completion of the courses required for a physics or engineering physics degree guarantees the completion of a mathematics minor as well. Computers are also of great importance to physics and our majors are advised to take courses in computer programming languages, especially FORTRAN, C, MATLAB, and PYPHON.       

For the degree requirements of a physics major and the physics minor, please refer to the McMurry University course catalog .
