student experiments with a 3D-printed rover

Explore the bounds of the universe — from the smallest particle to the largest galaxy. 

Take a stab at coding the Mars Rover in our Instrumentation Lab, where 3D-printed models are used to simulate real-world phenomena. 

A program that will rock your world

Whether you’re interested in gaining an understanding of how the Universe functions, or seek to improve upon important technologies such as medical imaging, it all starts with physics. Physicists learn about the world around us and apply their understanding to practical problems. 

A Physics degree covers the full spectrum of the sciences, including astronomy, chemistry, biology, and earth science. In addition, you can choose electives to specialize your coursework in topics that interest you, like: 

Accelerated Degree in Physics Education

 Complete your bachelor’s degree (BS) and get an MSEd in Physics Education, Inclusive (All Grades) by taking up to 12 credits of graduate-level coursework during your undergrad.

Your Career Awaits

A physics degree will prepare you for a wide range of careers and paths, including: 

  • Graduate school in: 
    • Physics 
    • Astronomy 
    • Engineering
  • Government Research 
  • College Professor 
  • Engineering 
  • Professional school (law, medicine, business, etc.)

Undergraduate Research

Set yourself apart from students at other universities by participating in undergraduate research projects from day one. Study distant galaxies with the Hubble Space Telescope, examine the atomic structure of 2-dimensional materials, or research magnetic materials. 

These opportunities let you dive into a specific field, apply your own creativity in solving real-world problems, and better prepare you for your future career.
