The concepts and methods of physics are fundamental throughout the sciences, and have produced profound scientific, philosophical, and technological developments. Our physics and astronomy department is built on close work between students and faculty on cutting-edge research, with nearly all physics, astronomy and astrophysics majors participating.
The physics major is studying acoustics at an internationally renowned program in Aachen, Germany.
