Talk:MIT Department of Physics

8 Focused vs. 8 Flexible (8B)
I added a "citation needed" to the assertion that the 8B degree is often for students who don't want to go onto physics graduate programs -- I've known a good number of 8B majors who are pursuing physics PhD's. Generally people pursue 8B when they don't want to take an extra experimental class and write a thesis. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.105.162.6 (talk) 03:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

Merger
Per |consensus on WikiProject Universities, departments and degree programs within universities lacking non-affiliated citations generally do not fulfill notability criterion for organizations. Because Wikipedia is not a directory and this article is just an indiscriminate, incomplete, or outdated list of notable as well as non-notable faculty members and alumni, it should be merged into its entry on MIT School of Science. When the entry on that article has grown in scope or notability (by including history, research programs/centers and accomplishments, notable faculty and alumni), it may warrant an independent article at a later time. Barring any future debate, the merger will occur on August 28, 2007. Madcoverboy 05:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Unexplained abbreviations
The article makes liberal use of abbreviations like NUPAT, NUPAX, and ABCMP without bothering to explain them. As a lapsed MIT physics major (switched to EECS), I have never heard of these obscure codes. Reify-tech (talk) 15:31, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
