Department of Physics
Mission
The Department of Physics offers a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Physics, a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Astronomy, and a Master of Science (MS) in Materials Science and Engineering. The department’s students, staff, and faculty are committed to providing a transformative training experience to their students, which is grounded in high-impact practices in the classroom, undergraduate and graduate research, internships, and mentorship.
As an integral component of their undergraduate training experience, students from all programs participate in sponsored research in collaboration with national and international institutions on topics ranging from materials science, astronomy and astrophysics, to physics education.
Through an innovative curriculum that leverages active learning to enhance student engagement and foster the development and retention of transformative skills, the department aims to graduate students well-prepared to navigate a lifelong dynamic professional landscape in areas such as data science, academia, medical physics, and engineering.
