Einstein and Newton… without them we wouldn’t know that E = mc2 or how the theory of gravity works. How crazy would that be? If you find physics fascinating (we challenge you to say that five times fast), you’d be crazy not to consider Michigan Tech. With among the nation’s few undergrad minors in astrophysics and nanotechnology and a unique focus on atmospheric physics, biomolecular modeling, and bioinformatics, our physics degree is one of the best in the country.
The accessibility to research at Michigan Tech makes gives you an edge when it comes to looking for summer positions at national labs and other universities. In addition, our students have presented at national meetings—American Geophysical Union and American Astronomical Society—and have had their research published in peer-reviewed journals such as Geophysical Research Letters and Applied Physics Letters.
