PHYSICS (BS) at Georgia College

Students majoring in physics take a traditional undergraduate physics curriculum that includes courses in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, optics and electronics. Students can also choose to specialize in applied physics. 

The applied physics specialization gives students practical experience with the department’s germanium crystal growth lab.
