Physics plays a basic role in all science and engineering disciplines. Physics is concerned with the study of the structure of matter, the nature of radiation, and the interaction of radiation and matter. Among the major branches are optical, laser, atomic, nuclear, molecular, solid state, bio-, astro-, and plasma physics. The B.S. program in physics provides an excellent, broadly based course of study with enough electives that the student can pursue his/her special interests in other subjects. The B.S. degree provides the necessary training for either employment in industry or government or continued study at the graduate level. The department also has a Physics/Pre-Medical curriculum for those students who wish to compete for admission to medical and dental schools. In addition, the department offers the Master of Science in physics and the PhD in engineering physics.
