About This Program

The physics program offers a challenging curriculum for undergraduate students seeking the knowledge of basic physics and real exposure to the state-of-the-art applications and research. This program provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of classical physics, modern physics, quantum mechanics and electromagnetic theory while providing curriculum flexibility by way of a spectrum of technical electives to pursue individual interests. Faculty members are able to provide individual guidance and mentoring due to the relatively small student-to-faculty ratio. An important element of the physics program is the many research opportunities to pursue undergraduate research by working with a faculty mentor.
