Physics is the science that studies the farthest reaches of the universe and the smallest particles of matter. A physicist can map a galaxy, discover the pulsars created by the explosions of massive stars or harness the potential of lasers and light.
Through courses in physics, math, and astronomy our students develop the creativity and analytical skills needed to make them valuable researchers and scientists in a wide variety of careers. Our outstanding faculty are engaging in research sponsored by NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and more.
The department has a partnership with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Greenbank, WV, the site of the world’s largest fully steerable radio telescope. With these resources, our students aren’t just training to make new discoveries – they are making them right now.
