Physics is the application of mathematical theory and experimental tools to investigate how matter and energy interact. It spans the spectrum from astrophysics, which tells us about the structure of stars, to clumps of atoms, which informs us how silicon chips work.?

In your first three years, you?ll take a core of courses including general physics, modern physics, statistical physics and thermodynamics, quantum physics, and electromagnetics.

In your senior year, you?ll dive into advanced specialized courses. A highlight of the senior year is the opportunity to carry out original research of your choice with a faculty member.?
