Engineering Design Competition

Coming Tuesday, October 29th, our annual Engineering Design Competition for high school students.

Why Study Physics at CSB+SJU?

  • 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 physics major features:

  • An optional concentration in engineering physics which enables students to learn basic engineering concepts and apply them to practical problems. 
  • Courses in astrophysics, optics, relativity, scientific computer programming and space physics.
  • High-end computer workstations for large numerical calculations and visualization problems.

Careers

There are many things that you can do with a physics major. The most common career path for our students is to go into engineering of some type.
