专业概况

在这里学什么？

Physicists and astronomers conduct theoretical, experimental, and computational studies to explore the fundamental properties and laws that govern space, time, energy, and matter on scales ranging from atoms to the universe.

As a physicist, you can investigate the structure of the atom, design and program computers, solve environmental problems, and develop new manufacturing materials. Physicists lead some of the world's major technology companies and research institutes, paving the way for technological innovations such as lasers, solar cells, electric cars, medical diagnostics, and computers.

The powerful array of technical skills you'll acquire as a physics major will prepare you for a career in many areas of theoretical and applied science. You'll be ready to assume leadership roles in industry, business, and government or explore the fields of materials science, biophysics, geophysics, oceanography, and medical physics. Within a year of graduation, 95% of physics majors are either in graduate school or employed.

The Physics Department also offers a bachelor's of science degree in physics with a concentration in astronomy and astrophysics.

We also offer teacher preparation for students who are interested in teaching physics at the high school level.

Physics major

Our curriculum covers all of the core fields of physics: classical and quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism, modern physics and relativity, optics, thermodynamics, and solid state physics.

As a physics major, you will: apply critical thinking, computer, and electronic skills to solve problems; develop the mathematical analysis and technical writing skills potential sought by employers; train in advanced laboratory techniques, computer simulation, and numerical modeling.

The bachelor of science degree requires a minimum of 45 credits in physics courses with 120 credits overall.

During your senior year, you will complete a capstone project, engaging in research with a faculty member on a topic in frontier research.

Astronomy/Astrophysics concentration: explore your interest in the universe by choosing the astronomy/astrophysics concentration. You'll learn the observational and analytical methods astronomers use to study the cosmos, as well as the physics behind celestial phenomena.

Additional focus areas are available to suit a range of student interest, including computational physics, climate physics, and applied physics.

Concrete opportunities

Experience: participate in internship programs to gain valuable experience with regional industries, often while also earning money for college

Community: join organizations such as the Physics Club, the Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, and Engineers Without Borders

New initiatives: collaborate, create, and explore at our IDEA Studio and the Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research

Capstone projects: students work on capstone projects, engaging with faculty members on research topics
