GEC Coordinator: Aleks Diamond-Stanic

Physics is the study of matter and energy. A very small number of fundamental physical principles provide a coherent and unified understanding of an enormous variety of phenomena, ranging in scale from the subnuclear to the cosmological. Any set of physics and astronomy courses illustrates these principles and their coherence.

Complete any four credits in Physics and Astronomy and/or designated with the (C056) GEC attribute. Two non-Bates credits may be applied toward the concentration if judged comparable to one of those below by the concentration coordinator and with prior approval. One independent study, pre-approved by the coordinator, may also count toward the concentration. Students may not use more than one of the following toward the concentration:
