Student Profile
Name: Jill Randall
Major: Physics, Math minor
"The physics major isn't only learning about physics, it's also about learning how to think, how to be creative, and imaginative. It doesn't teach me what to think, but rather, how to think outside the box." Read More
Our program . . .
Lab work is central to everything we do. If you decide to pursue a degree with us, you will spend valuable time in our labs. In addition to the required research project during your final year, our system will expose you to lab work with most of our faculty at some point during your studies.
Program highlights
- Students get training in many areas of research because our faculty members specialize in cutting edge areas of physics.
- Students work closely with faculty in their senior-year thesis project.
- The department is tightly linked with the dual-degree engineering program, a way to pursue your engineering degree during your third or fourth year.
Overview of Program
The physics major features:
- An optional applied physics concentration which enables students to focus on such topics as electronics and optics.
- Courses in mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, thermodynamics, particle physics and relativity.
- High-end computer workstations for large numerical calculations and visualization problems.
