Physics majors explore fundamental principles governing mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, relativity, quantum physics, and particle physics. The curriculum extends to practical applications of these theories in analyzing various states of matter - solids, liquids, gases, and plasmas - along with their mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and thermal characteristics, as well as atomic and nuclear structures. Learners also acquire hands-on experimental techniques used in physics research, applicable both in scientific discovery and practical implementations. Those seeking rigorous training in physics and mathematics can opt for the Bachelor of Science in Physics offered by the College of Arts and Sciences, which provides excellent preparation for immediate career opportunities or advanced studies in physics and related STEM disciplines.
