<p>See if you have access to this, it’s the online time schedules that students select courses from:</p>
<p>[University</a> of Chicago Time Schedules](<a href=“http://timeschedules.uchicago.edu/view.cfm?dept=PHYS&term=75]University”>University of Chicago Time Schedules)</p>
<p>I know that for many fields, the online course catalog does NOT really reflect what’s actually offered. The course catalog often has the “bread and butter” courses but there are usually a lot of “wildcard” courses that get taught each quarter. Such has been my experience with departments like English, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and history.</p>
<p>Undergraduates are allowed to take graduate classes, and in some cases are required to (for the biochem major, at least).</p>
<p>I don’t know exactly how research opportunities work, but I do know physics undergrads who have done or currently work at Fermilab or Argonne. There are also a lot of physics-related buildings up around campus (west side of campus) so I imagine there’s a lot of cool stuff going on.</p>
<p>It seems like the largest physics class (general physics Var-A) is pretty big as far as class sizes at Chicago go-- it’s 144 students. Var-B has capacity for 108, and honors for 78. I don’t know the differences in curriculum among the different tracks.</p>
<p>Anyway, if you have particular questions about the physics program, I’m far from an expert. I suggest you poke around [Department</a> of Physics](<a href=“http://physics.uchicago.edu/index.html]Department”>http://physics.uchicago.edu/index.html) for more information.</p>
