Physics

Description

Traditionally, this science is divided into the fields of mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. Other fields in physics combine or further develop the ideas of the fundamental three:

• statistical physics and thermodynamics
• electronics
• atmospheric physics
• experimental physics
• computational physics
• cosmology
• nuclear physics
• solid state physics

The physics curriculum at Morris includes a core of classical and modern physics while also giving students the flexibility to select additional courses that align with particular career interests.

The physics program at Morris includes:

• A rigorous sequence of introductory courses with laboratories
• A core of courses in classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics
• A broad selection of elective courses such as electronics, experimental physics, optics, statistical physics, and computer modeling
• Small classes that permit a close relationship between students and faculty
• Faculty actively involved in experimental, observational, theoretical and computational physics research
• A high fraction of students productively involved in student research at Morris or in summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs.
