In fulfillment of this mission, the program educate the general Oklahoma City University student population to become scientifically literate citizens, provide strong and effective curriculums to undergraduate physics majors in order to prepare them for graduate school, and provide helpful advice to students in their career choice as mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.

The OKCU Mathematics and Physics departments strive to maintain the highest standards of teaching and to offer programs of choice in the region that have a reputation for the graduates' success.

In our modern, fast changing and highly demanding world, one undergraduate college degree is often not sufficient to succeed in the professional world after graduation.

• College graduates with degrees in Physics find immediate employment.?The waiting time between graduation and the beginning of employment is, on the average, shorter than one month.
• The initial salaries are highest for engineering, mathematics and physics graduates.?Salaries in these areas are between 50% and 100% higher than those for other disciplines (like English, Education, Philosophy, Sociology, History and others).
• The areas of application of physics are numerous, challenging and gratifying.
