We provide valuable hands-on research experience, mentored by a diverse team of specialists in the fields of Experimental (Lithium-Ion Batteries, Superconductors, Exotic Molecular Materials), Theoretical (Quantum Hall Effect, Particle Phenomenology beyond Standard Model, Neutrino Scattering), Computational (Numerical Analysis of Entangled Quantum Systems, Hadron Collider Simulation), and Astro (Observational Stellar Spectroscopy, Popular Science Writing, Methods of Astronomy Education) Physics.\nRequirements\n\nAll physics majors or pre-engineering students must complete the \"Physics Bootcamp\" course during their first semester to gain a strong foundation in the mathematics that will be required for the degrees offered. The curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in physics includes the hours necessary for a minor in mathematics.\nEngineering Options\n\nIn addition to the bachelor's degree in physics, students interested in engineering have several attractive options to choose from.\n\n    The two-year program provides essential prerequisites for transfer to a college of engineering.\n    The \"3/2\" dual degree program stipulates an additional third year of intensive physics study at SHSU prior to transferring out; upon completion of an accredited engineering degree program (normally a two-year commitment), all credits are retroactively transferred back to SHSU for the immediate award of a second degree in physics.\n    Alternately, graduates with a four-year physics degree from SHSU may be accepted into various master's programs in engineering.\n\nCareers in Physics\n\n    Engineering\n    Graduate School\n    Industry\n    Government"},"ceterms:regulatedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-4ea8b911-5659-49e0-b382-8dfed5277bbf"],"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:1b2cc71c-7fbe-48fb-f5bd-4d170244dfb6"],"ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/11-9121.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"11-9121.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Natural Sciences Managers"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Plan, direct, or coordinate activities in such fields as life sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, statistics, and research and development in these fields."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/19-2012.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"19-2012.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Physicists"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Conduct research into physical phenomena, develop theories on the basis of observation and experiments, and devise methods to apply physical laws and theories."}},{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.onetcenter.org/taxonomy.html","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1054.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1054.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Physics Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses pertaining to the laws of matter and energy.
