It is the science that has played an integral role in the development of the Internet, cell phones, lasers, photovoltaic cells and countless other inventions that have revolutionized our world. When you major in physics at Ashland University, you explore the fundamental scientific challenges of our day. Alongside professors who are excellent research scientists in their own right, you have the opportunity to undertake research projects that could potentially impact both your future and that of the world. Our complete curriculum and small classes provide the ideal environment for preparing students for teaching physics at the high school level, for graduate school and ultimately an exceptional scientific career.

What you?ll love about physics:

• You will receive a great deal of personal attention from professors who get to know you well in our small class settings.
• Professors work with you on your classroom, laboratory and research projects, mentoring you and helping you gain the most value from these experiences.
