Sample Schedule for Medical Physics Major
This is an example of the sequence of courses that a medical physics
major at Presbyterian College might take. It includes all the required
courses for the major, and a typical sequence of general education
courses. The exact general education courses that a student needs to take
depend on the results of placement exams or evaluations in English and
foreign language, so these are only examples.
In the notes column, MP indicates a physics major requirement;
GE indicates a general education requirement.
This table does not explicitly include PC's intercultural /
internship requirement. Students may satisfy this requirement by
participating in an internship (PHYS 444) approved by the department,
which would fit into the table as one of the physics electives; or
by a variety of methods involving study abroad, off-campus travel or field
experience, and designated intercultural courses, which would fit into
the table as a general elective.
