Physics is the study of matter and energy and their interactions.

Students study both the theory of physics and experiment using those theories as a guide. Physics teaching majors take classes in thermal physics, intermediate modern physics, wave phenomena, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics, as well as teaching courses.

For more information about Physics, see the Department of Physics website.
Admitted and current students must meet with the advisor, Vanessa Chambers.
