Undergraduate Physics Programs

The Physics Department offers Bachelor of Science – General Program, Bachelor of Science – Engineering Concentration, and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Physics, and the Bachelor of Science in Physics/Secondary Education. 

These programs develop a mastery of the important theories, unifying principles and engineering applications of physics.  With all of our students, we seek to build active curiosity, investigative skills and intellectual confidence and independence.

Upper level students are encouraged to participate in research with faculty mentors. Projects currently in progress include nanostructured materials, atomic force and electron microscopy, correlated many-body physics, astronomical studies of binary stars, research on the learning and teaching of physics, theoretical condensed matter physics, fluorescence spectroscopy, fiber optics and superconductivity.
