Physics is the scientific study of matter, energy, and their interactions to comprehend how the universe functions. Students collaborate closely with professors on groundbreaking research, gain experience through internships at national labs, and prepare for diverse physics-related careers. Our curriculum ensures all physics students master advanced mathematics (including calculus) and computer programming. They also acquire expertise in electronics and sophisticated lab methods. Approximately 60% of our physics alumni pursue graduate studies in fields like physics, engineering, business, law, education, or medicine. Additional career paths include computational science or physical science specialties such as meteorology and oceanography after further training.
