Physical Education

A two-day, 150-mile event in middle Tennessee conducted in fall with the Sewanee Outdoor Program. Twenty-five mile training rides, taken three times per week, are led by the SOP and are required to condition for this event.
This course covers the design and instruction of safe and effective group fitness classes. Students learn how to lead cardio and strength training formats and practice how to safely and effectively use music, equipment, and basic fitness principles. This class is not a certification, but is excellent preparation for a national certification such as ACE or AFAA.

Physics and Astronomy

An introduction to classical mechanics. Topics may include kinematics, Newton's Laws, energy and momentum conservation, torques, fluids, and wave motion.

A study of the fundamental principles of geometrical and physical optics with lasers and holography used extensively in the laboratory. Lecture, three hours.
Exploration of how classical electric and magnetic theories apply in action. Topics include electrostatics, electric and magnetic properties of materials, steady-state magnetism, and electromagnetic induction. Alternating and direct-current circuits with passive and active components are tested.
Description Surveys important developments in physics during the twentieth century, including general and special relativity, superconductivity, quantum theory and its applications to the description of the atomic and subatomic world.
This course introduces the practice of experimental physics. Experimental topics can include spectroscopy from gamma energies into the infrared, NMR, visible and infrared optics, holography and diffractive optics, scanning electron microscopy, and advanced electronics with computer interfacing. Programming languages such as LabVIEW, MatLab, and Mathematica are used.

An introduction to the study of international relations concentrating on perspectives and policies of major countries, principal institutions, international law and international organization, and selected topics-for example, arms races and arms control, economic and political integration, disparities of income, problems of food and population, and human rights. Course requirements may include simulation.
