Physics

Physics seeks to describe the nature of the physical world. It includes the study of everything from subatomic particles to the essence of the universe as a whole. Physics plays a central role in most technological developments in the modern world, as well as in the theoretical foundation for most other areas of science.Introductory physics involves a combination of mini-lectures, lab work, and collaborative learning experiences. The experiential lab features computer-interfaced experiments and multimedia support. In upper years, you may choose to pursue studies in subjects like astrophysics, quantum mechanics, electronics, medical physics, nuclei and fundamental particles, and solid state physics. You are encouraged to carry out independent research through work on your thesis or summer projects and to become involved in faculty research as research assistants.
