Hi, so I am a double major in Math and just recently added physics. But going through the major requirements and my university's offerings, it seems we don't offer many courses. This is also the case for our math program (and part of the reason I added the additional degree).
I am curious if this is going to put me at a large disadvantage for grad school? How might I want to remedy theses short comings? Changing school is not really an option for my wife, kids and I. I have a full ride to this private university.
Courses required:
Gen physics 1,2,3,4 (mechanics to modern intro courses)
thermal/statistical physics course (one semester course)
1 semester classical mechanics
1 semester EM
1 semester QM
1 semester Atomic physics
math methods for physics course
modeling in physics
Besides these physics courses, they occasionally offer theses courses
Optics
Astronomy
nuclear/particle physics
I often read here that other universitys offer at least 2 semester sequences for CM/EM/QM
Even my math major lacks any depth. We have 2 semesters Analysis, 2 Abstract Algebra, elective in complex and PDE's.
