Capstone Considerations

Students pursuing a Physics B.A. from the College of Liberal Arts must take PHYS 4052W as the "capstone course." The Honors Thesis is a separate requirement and must be distinct from the B.A. Capstone project; it is not advised to complete the Capstone and Honors Thesis in the same semester. NB: Students pursuing a Physics B.S. from the College of Science and Engineering will still take PHYS 4052W, but CSE does not call this a "Capstone."

Thesis Requirements

Students planning on graduating summa cum laude are required to do a public presentation on their research.

Plan C Thesis Options

None
