Use the AMJOCH Observatory, which is equipped with a computer-controlled Meade 16" LS-200 telescope, complete with the ST-8 CCD camera and UBVRI filter. Generate clouds and study atmospheric physics with the Pi Cloud Chamber. Join the Society of Physics Students, a national professional organization. Conduct your own research or work directly with faculty mentors on research projects involving cloud physics, materials and laser physics, and integrated magneto-photonics. You can even get paid for your research—as early as your first year.
Choose from either a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or a Bachelor of Science (BS). As a BA major, you’ll have a liberal arts degree that provides you with a foundation in physics while also allowing you to pursue other interests. If you’re looking to continue on to grad school or a career in a physics field, the BS degree is your best option. Then, choose a focus area in astrophysics, atmospheric physics, computational physics, experimental physics, or computational biophysics. You'll be prepared for lab- and research-based career paths or for careers in other areas like law or business.
