The Florida State University's Department of Physics offers many exciting programs and opportunities for students interested in learning physics. Our physics curriculum is flexible, structured according to the student's long-range goals, and provides a solid foundation for future graduate work or immediate employment opportunities. Interdisciplinary degree options are available and many students pursue double majors which include physics. There are many reasons students seek the challenges and rigors that come from making physics a part of their undergraduate studies. Those who do find themselves in a field that both expands their abilities and provides them with an immense feeling of accomplishment. Perhaps the most important benefits gained from physics training are the confidence and the ability to tackle complex technical problems. As a result of this training, physicists find themselves capable of contributing in many professions.
Physics is the foundation of all sciences and has been the pursuit of some of the greatest minds in history including Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and Dirac. Their discoveries and quest for knowledge form the foundation of our physics program. This proud tradition and passion for inquiry has produced a modern professional community of physicists whose contributions are continually expanding and changing our society. Whether it is on the end of the spaceboom fixing the Hubble space telescope, creating and developing the World Wide Web, searching for the fundamental fabric of our universe, exploring safer and more reliable ways to diagnose and treat illnesses, or finding new and better ways to live, you will always find physicists on the frontier. So if you enjoy mathematics and science and are ready for a challenge, you should make physics a part of your education.
The internationally recognized faculty includes many who have earned prestigious awards for their research and teaching, including the Nobel prize. The faculty believe that the quality of teaching, at all levels, is enhanced by a strong research program. Undergraduates, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows participate in all aspects of research in physics at The Florida State University. In fact, most undergraduate physics majors participate in research projects and many are co-authors on publications. This research includes strong programs in the area of computational physics and both experimental and theoretical studies in high energy, nuclear, condensed matter, and atomic and molecular physics. There are also many opportunities for interdisciplinary research, particularly in the Center for Materials Research and Technology (MARTECH), the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL), the School of Computational Science and Information Technology (CSIT), the Institute of Molecular Biophysics (IMB), and, as a separate degree program, in Chemical Physics.
Available experimental facilities include the following: a 9.5 MV Super FN Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator with superconducting post accelerator, 3- and 4-MV Van de Graaffs, electron spin resonance and electron double nuclear resonance spectrometers, a detector development laboratory for high-energy particle detectors, liquid helium refrigerators, thin film preparation facilities including sputtering and laser ablation, ultrahigh vacuum instrumentation including surface analysis (LEED, Auger, optical) and molecular beam epitaxy, synthesis and characterization facilities for novel materials, three X-ray diffractomers with various sample stages for high and low temperature studies, multi-sample analysis and small angle studies, scanning electron, tunneling and optical microscopies with image analysis, SQUID and vibrating sample magnetometers, and a helium atom surface scattering facility. The NHMFL provides a modern infrastructure enabling research in magnetic fields including the highest powered DC fields in the world, mainly used for materials science research; and facilities providing the highest fields in the world for nuclear, ion cyclotron and electron magnetic resonance spectometers as well as magnetic resonance imaging.
Computers are an integral part of almost all research programs in the department. The computational infrastructure is upgraded continuously to keep pace with advances in technology. The department is fully connected to the Internet, and maintains a Physics Instructional Computer Laboratory (PICL) for students. In addition to using computers in research, students are expected to utilize numerical methods for problem solving in their course work.
Programs Offered
The Department of Physics offers programs leading to the following degrees: bachelor of science (BS), bachelor of arts (BA), master of science (MS), and doctor of philosophy (PhD). There is a targeted, five (5) year program of study leading to both BS and MS degrees in computational physics. An undergraduate interdisciplinary program is designed to prepare students to work in areas that combine physics with other fields. The departmental course offerings include courses for non-science majors, courses for non-physical science majors, courses for K-12 educators, and courses for physical science majors. Honors work is available. Details may be obtained from the chair of the department.

The Department of Physics will withhold acceptance as an interdisciplinary physics major until the student, in consultation with one of the upper-division physics advisers, has laid out an acceptable program of studies.
Computational Physics BS/MS Program
This five-year program is designed to train graduates in physics and computing. By combining a rigorous physics program with extensive instruction in computer science and computational physics, students acquire formal and practical training in both physics and computing. Consequently, they are prepared for scientific and technical jobs requiring extensive software development and/or computing.
At the end of five years, students obtain a bachelor of science degree with a major in physics, a dual minor in computer science and mathematics, and a master of science degree in physics. Students may select either a thesis or a non-thesis MS program.
Minor
The required mathematics for all physics programs is sufficient to constitute an acceptable minor in mathematics, but a student who so desires may take an additional approved minor.
Honors in the Major
The Department of Physics offers a program in honors in the major to encourage talented juniors and seniors to undertake independent research as part of the undergraduate experience. For requirements and other information, see the "University Honors Program and Honor Societies" chapter of this General Bulletin.
Minor in Physics
To obtain a minor in physics a student is required to take general physics A (PHY 2048C or 2048 and 2048L), general physics B (PHY 2049C or 2049 and 2049L), and at least one of the following courses: intermediate modern physics (PHY 3101), intermediate mechanics (PHY 3221), intermediate electricity and magnetism (PHY 4323), optics (PHY 3424), thermal and statistical physics (PHY 4513).
