Learning Like No Other
The Department of Physics and Biophysics educates students at all levels including general education, baccalaureate preparation for scientific and teaching careers, and masters level education.
A degree in physics provides valuable research and critical thinking skills which
prepare students to follow many different paths including further studies in physics
and other areas of science and engineering, teaching careers at all levels, and positions
in the private sector wherever analytical, computational, and problem-solving skills
are highly valued. We offer physics majors and graduate students a high quality physics
education with small classes in a research oriented environment. Our programs are
developed and led by faculty who are excellent teachers and also maintain active,
world-class research programs.
Our small class sizes, ground-breaking research opportunities, and one-on-one interaction
with world class professors are what makes an experience like no other.
