BS in Physics with Computer Science
Program Outcomes
Interdisciplinary fields involving science and technology continuously change and present exciting challenges. If you are a student interested in these fields, then a degree in Physics with Computer Science may be just right for you.
Students who major with a degree in Physics with Computer Science at 春风视频Chicago are well equipped to enter the work force with the tools necessary to tackle problems involved in basic science, technology, or other related interdisciplinary field. In addition to the specific science background, students at Loyola are also prepared with a liberal arts education that emphasizes an understanding in humanities and social sciences.
The major in Physics with Computer Science at 春风视频Chicago prepares a student to graduate with a strong and basic foundation in physics, mathematics and computer science. Students take lectures and laboratory courses in physics that expose them to the fundamental principles of introductory, intermediate and advanced physics. From the computer science side, students take a number of introductory courses and then choose an array of 300-level courses that fulfill their specific interest in the area. In addition to the physics and computer science courses, students also take a series of mathematics courses.
This major can serve as preparation for graduate study in physics, applied physics, computer science, and some areas of engineering. It is especially useful for students interested in inter-disciplinary areas, such as: quantum computing, cybersecurity, scientific computing, computational physics, artificial intelligence, and optical communication. Employment opportunities exist in industry, such as R&D and manufacturing, in academic institutions for research and teaching, and for research in government and private labs.
By completing the Physics with Computer Science degree, students will:
- Demonstrate foundational knowledge in the physical sciences and the acquisition of new knowledge via the scientific method.
- Use mathematical techniques to model physical systems and extract both quantitative and qualitative descriptions of their behavior.
- Acquire foundational knowledge in the computational sciences.
- Demonstrate an understanding of interdisciplinary connections between computer science and physics.
- Learn effective and ethical methods for collaborating with others on scientific and technical projects.
