PHYSICS

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers the doctor of philosophy (PhD) and master of science (MS) degrees in physics, with the option of specialization in astronomy or precision timing. Although we offer a course-only MS, our graduate program is mostly oriented toward current physics and astronomy research... We offer a bachelor of science (BS) in physics, as well as a popular double-major program with electrical and computer engineering. Physics majors may focus their work in one of several sub-areas, such as the physics of elementary particles, the properties of solid matter, or the properties and evolution of stars and galaxies. We also offer a program for students interested in teaching physics at the K-12 level and minors in both physics and astronomy.
