mission of its undergraduate program. • A strong disposition toward continuous evaluation of and experimentation with the undergraduate program.2The difficulties experienced by the American University physics program led to the re-evaluationof our program in light of the needs of potential physics majors who could be attracted to ourdepartment. Due to this re-evaluation, we significantly restructured our course offerings andrequirements, as well as implemented other changes in our program. This study couldpotentially to be adapted for other physics, engineering, or technology programs, particularlythose seeking to restructure after the loss of a graduate program and making a transition to anundergraduate-only
