Physics - Barnard College

Physics from Barnard College is a Campus Bachelor Physics degree that prepares you for a Science career. The courses required for the major in physics are: ? PHY BC 2001: Physics I: Mechanics ? PHY BC 2002: Physics II: Electricity & Magnetism ? PHY BC 3001: Physics III: Waves & Optics In lieu of the above, any 3-semester Columbia introductory sequence acceptable for the physics major in Columbia College will do (e.g. PHY C 1601-2, 2601, taken with PHY 1691-3). The accelerated 2-semester Columbia College sequence PHY C 2801-2 is also acceptable. Calculus through IIIS/IVA is required, with additional work in mathematics recommended; e.g. Math E 1210x, y: Ordinary Differential Equations, APMA E 3102y: Applied Mathematics II. The calculus sequence should be completed by the end of the sophomore year. At the upper level the following courses are required: ? PHY W 3003: Mechanics ? PHY W 3007: Electricity & Magnetism ? PHY W 3008: Electromagnetism Waves and Optics ? PHY W 3006: Quantum Physics ? PHY G 4023: Statistical Physics Also required are 6.0 points total of advanced lab work, preferably PHYS BC 3086 and 3088, taken concurrently with their cognate Columbia lecture courses. Alternately, students may opt for repeated enrollment in PHYS W 3081, Columbia's 1.5 point EKA laboratory, or Barnard's PHYS BC3082. Finally, the student must take computer Science W 1003 (Programming in C), W 1005 (Fortran Programming), or PHY W 3083 (Electronics Laboratory). Students planning to study Physics in graduate school should include several 4000-level electives in their senior year program. View more details on Barnard College .
