Shatter Expectations
Gain scientific and technical experience, then apply it in the world.
Our physics curriculum is designed to provide you with real-world experience, ensuring you develop skills in writing, speaking and interpersonal relationships that will enhance your career in the sciences and other technical fields. You will be given opportunities to participate in a variety of college-sponsored programs (intercollegiate athletics, music, fine arts and service), study in a department that offers personal attention and small classes taught exclusively by Ph.D. professors, and become active in research and professional societies early-on as an undergraduate.
In addition to majoring in physics, you can easily choose to add an additional major in mathematics. Through this course of study, you can explore connections between the various areas of mathematics and critical thought. Many physics and math majors choose to double major or create a self-designed major, allowing you to customize your education and focus your attention and research interests in specific and meaningful directions. Other unique aspects of this program include:
