Key Summary
Introduction
The notion that all matter from subatomic particles to galactic clusters obeys a small set of principles that can be modeled mathematically is the fundamental premise of physics. The degree program in physics offers comprehensive training in all four major fields of physics: mechanics, electricity, magnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics. When combined with the numerous opportunities for undergraduate research in physics, the degree program produces students who are well-prepared for a career in industry or for graduate study in physics or engineering.
Program Highlights
- Faculty maintain modern and active research laboratories where students can gain hands-on experience in laboratory research
- Students often obtain grants to present their research work at meetings across the country, gaining exposure to and recognition from the scientific community
- Most graduates earn advanced degrees in engineering or physics
