• Biblical?? Since physics is a study of the physical laws that govern the universe, it is natural to discuss the Creator that maintains those laws continually (Col. 1:15-18). As course content intersects with issues of origins, ethics, and worldview, you will engage in fruitful discussions and assignments that will help you think through the implications of their faith in Jesus Christ.
  • Broad?? Because physics is the foundation to all of the sciences, you will develop analytic skills and gain a solid understanding of physical principles that are valued in other scientific fields. You will investigate a wide range of topics in the classroom including the basics of theoretical mechanics, electromagnetic theory, and quantum mechanics as well as such diverse topics as acoustics, astrophysics, and computational physics.
  • Expert faculty?? You will learn from faculty who will share their expertise in astronomy, atmospheric science, atomic physics, climate modeling, computational physics, and cosmology.
  • Excellent lab facilities?? You will have access to a computerized data acquisition system and instrumentation for conducting a range of classical experiments as well as open-ended investigations. The department has an atomic force microscope for measuring surfaces at the nano-scale and access to computational resources through the Ohio Supercomputer Center.
