Standard International Pathway Program (IPP) - 2-Semester Pathway + Bachelor of Science - Physics

Program Description

This is an intensive program in physics designed to prepare specialists for graduate training in physics or (by appropriate choice of electives) for employment in industry. The program has ample room for electives in the arts and sciences and for teacher certification, if desired.

Learning Outcomes:

• Demonstrate knowledge of the body of natural laws through which much of the behavior of the physical universe can be understood and predicted;
• Demonstrate an understanding of the powerful concepts of mathematical analysis necessary for the construction and application of physical theories;
• Demonstrate competency in the use of sophisticated and accurate apparatus specifically designed to discover the physical attributes of matter and radiation and their interactions; and
• Demonstrate ability to properly interpret data obtained from experimental investigations and mathematical simulations.

International Pathway Program

Students should be advised that this is the Standard 2-Semester Pathway option for this program.

The International Pathway Program (IPP) is open to students who need to strengthen their English skills before studying a degree program in the USA. The IPP offers undergraduate students the additional support needed for their first year of university study. Students’ academic, social and personal success are ensured while in the program as they prepare to continue on to their degree.

Each semester students will take a combination of Hartford academic courses (credited) and English courses (non-credit). Course options are dependent upon the required pathway. Once students have reached the required English level, they can progress to their program at the University of Hartford.
