The Physics Program offers a rigorous training in theoretical, experimental and computational physics to a diverse population of students in order to prepare them for graduate school or careers in teaching or industry.

Physics Program Learning Outcomes

• Students will demonstrate a working knowledge of physical laws and theories in the areas of classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, optics and special relativity.
• Students will demonstrate proficiency using mathematical techniques, computational methods and critical thinking in problem solving.
• Students will work effectively as part of a collaborative team to conduct experimental measurements using laboratory devices and electronics, collect and analyze data and interpret their results.
• Students will communicate well, orally, visually and in writing to diverse STEM audiences.
