The faculty of the Physics Department teach a variety of courses that contribute to both the Bachelor of Science in Biophysics as well as the Minor in Physics.
The Physics Department works with the Math Department to oversee Centenary's 3/2 Engineering program, an innovative program that offers students the opportunity to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree from Centenary in conjunction with a Bachelor of Science from another institution.
In addition, physics classes fulfill key roles in many other programs available at the college.
Contact any of our faculty members for information on physics offerings.
