PHYS 4610/4620/4630 are the Physics Honors Seminars for students pursuing Departmental Honors in Physics. To graduate with an honors designation, students should enroll in at least one semester of honors, although two or three are more usual.

Honors seminars will occur once per week for an hour. All enrolled students are required to attend. The students will rotate through giving 20 minute oral presentations of their research to their peers. It is expected that honors students will spend between 6-10 hours per week working on their honors research.

PHYS 4610/4620/4630 are controlled enrollment courses. Please contact a Physics Honors Council representative if you are interested in enrolling.
