The Chemical and Physical Sciences Department

A learning community dedicated to:

• delivering undergraduate instruction for physics and physics education majors
• offering physics courses suitable for students majoring in other fields
• offering general education requirement science courses in support of the university’s liberal arts curriculum
• supporting a two year transfer program for students majoring in engineering
• providing a positive environment for students, staff and faculty 

Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Physics

Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.), Physics major

Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.Ed.), Unified Science major, Physics endorsement

Minor in Physics

Physics graduates obtain a strong diversified background in science and mathematics which will qualify them to enter various areas of employment in industry, government or secondary education or for entrance into graduate programs in physics, engineering and many other disciplines. Students who plan to do graduate work in engineering should, with the help of a faculty adviser, select their free electives in the area they plan to enter.

The physics area of the Chemical and Physical Sciences Department participates in cooperative two-year pre-engineering programs which allow students to complete the first two years of an engineering degree at Missouri Southern and then transfer to an engineering school to complete the remaining two years of the degree.
