The Department of Physics has faculty comprised of condensed matter, nuclear physics, optical physics, biological physics, and astronomy experts. All are focused on giving you the very best education in your chosen profession and the ability to handle the complex issues confronting your studies and research. Our students and staff come from around the world to study and work with you. You may select to work in any of these fields, or to work interdisciplinary in a combination of fields within the Faculty or between the Faculty and the rest of the University.

All the faculty are ready to assist and mentor you in your studies. The Physics faculty offer various Independent Study or Undergraduate Research opportunities to interested students. In these courses, student work one-on-one with a faculty member to delve deeper into a subject than our normal course offerings. Students are able to use the equipment and resources available in the Department in intensive study--designed in concert with a faculty member--for course credit. For more information about such opportunities, please contact one of our Physics faculty members.
