Physics

The physics department offers a flexible program of study that provides a thorough foundation in the principles of physics. With eight faculty members in the department, physics students are assured of small classes and individual attention.  Whether working towards a major or minor in physics, or participating in 3-2 Engineering and Teacher Education Programs, students may design a personalized curriculum that fits their individual needs.

In addition to regular course offerings, physics majors are able to take advantage of tutorials, independent studies, or supervised research with faculty members on topics related to their ongoing work.  All of the members of the department are engaged in active research programs that cover a broad range of areas, such as atomic physics, condensed matter physics, and astrophysics.
