We welcome undergraduates into the community of scientists, offering plenty of face time with full professors and support from peers and graduate students. Students get an opportunity?to

  • participate in research?projects
  • work with high-level instrumentation such as spectrometers, cryogenic systems, lasers, and high-pressure?systems
  • use sophisticated computer modeling and simulation?programs
  • pursue a wide range of specialized interests, including atomic physics, high-pressure physics, solid-state physics, and?optics
  • receive peer instruction and?tutoring
  • innovate and pursue their own ideas under the direction of a faculty?member

Our program is designed to provide graduates with the competence, as well as the confidence, to pursue careers or advanced degrees in?physics.
