Our physics department is severely lacking in the courses it offers. What are some ways/methods I can use to get them to offer more courses?

ranger said:But even offering a minor would take all that effort? They just need to add a few courses. Does this need accreditation? They have more than enough competent staff to handle these courses. I've been looking through the profiles of the physics professors...
One way to convince your physics department to offer more courses is to gather support from other students who are also interested in taking more physics courses. You can also present a well-researched and detailed proposal to the department, highlighting the benefits of offering more courses, such as increased enrollment and student satisfaction.
The first step is to communicate your concerns and desires to the department. You can also reach out to your professors or advisors for guidance and support. It may also be helpful to gather data and research on the demand for additional physics courses and present it to the department.
One way to make your voice heard is to attend department meetings and speak up during open forum sessions. You can also reach out to the department chair or other faculty members through email or in-person meetings to express your thoughts and concerns.
If your physics department is resistant to offering more courses, it may be helpful to gather support from other departments or organizations on campus. You can also reach out to the administration to advocate for additional physics courses and explain the potential benefits to the university as a whole.
The timeline for adding new courses can vary depending on the department's resources and processes. It may take anywhere from a few months to a year or more for a new course to be approved and added to the curriculum. It is important to be patient and persistent in advocating for additional courses.
