Undergraduate students in the Department of Physics participate in faculty research programs, present at many conferences, and co-author publications in major scientific journals.

Physicists work may range from highly complex and theoretical studies, to more practical activities which relate theory to practical needs.

This is a four-year program designed for students planning graduate study in physics, graduate study in an allied field such as engineering, industrial/business employment, and other professional schools. Majors complete a well-balanced curriculum, concentrating on theoretical and experimental physics, computational physics and mathematics.
