• Physics plays a central role in most technological developments in the modern world, as well as in the theoretical foundation for most other areas of science.
  • In the Mount Allison physics program, the development of fundamental concepts and mathematical formulation proceeds simultaneously in a selected series of courses in physics and mathematics.
  • The physics program also prepares students for more advanced study in applied areas such as photonics, materials science, or biomedical engineering; or for a career in such fields as astronomy, space research, or oceanography.
