From studying the science of motion to using radio telescopes to measure the Earth?s orbit, you will use theoretical knowledge from your classes to create your own projects.?

Along with creating your own research projects, you can focus your interests by choosing from one of three concentrations in physics:

• Laboratory instrumentation:?Focus in electronics design and microprocessor software development
• Scientific computing:?Focus in computer technology, including computer modeling, visualization and simulation
• Concentration by design:?Students can work with an advisor to develop a concentration unique to their personal learning goals
