<p>While I’m pretty sure I’m going to major in physics… However, I would also like to take several classes in other subjects… Anyways, I’ve gotten the impression that schools like Cal Tech are 1-dimemsional, in that they basically live and breath science and math. </p>
<p>Anyways, I was just suprised to find out how few physics majors there are at Duke.</p>
<p>**Physics department stats: **
62 professors and lecturers
66 graduate students
8-12 undergraduates a year (yes, over 5 faculty per major candidate)</p>
<p>Program: [Duke</a> Physics](<a href=“http://www.phy.duke.edu/undergraduate/program.php]Duke”>http://www.phy.duke.edu/undergraduate/program.php)</p>
<p>BS requirements:</p>
<p>Physics Courses: 41L, 42L (or 61L, 62L or 53L, 54L), 143L, 176, 181, 182, 211, 212, 217S, one among the laboratory courses 171L (see note), 193 or a laboratory based independent study course, plus one additional courses numbered above 100 except for Physics 230. </p>
<p>Mathematics Courses: 31, 32, 103, 107, and 108 (same as all engineers)</p>
<p>AB degree has the same requirements except for getting rid of phy 182, 212 and math 107 and 108.</p>
<p>It’s hard, it’s small, you’ll get to know professors REALLY well and be able to do research. Intro classes will be much larger with engineers, pre-med, math students, etc. That’s all I got.</p>
