物理专业是一个具有挑战性的四年制课程，提供有关物理基础方面的严格培训。这是通过结合课堂作业，实验室课程，独立研究项目以及课外活动（包括参加物理学生协会）来实现的。我们的部门最近经历了巨大的扩展，包括聘用了几名新的教职员工并开发了世界一流的研究计划，这使我们进入了复杂材料研究的前沿。这项研究工作旨在补充我们耶稣会在本科教育中的卓越传统，并且强烈鼓励学生参与教师研究-没有比通过物理学更好的学习物理学的方法了。我们是一个相对较小且联系紧密的部门，本科专业与教职员工的比例约为4：1。因此，学生可以期望可以随时与教
The Physics Major is a 4-year program with a strong emphasis on fundamental physics concepts and hands-on experience in state-of-the-art teaching laboratories. Students will learn how analyze complex problems and will gain a strong quantitative background that can be applied in any technical field. Our graduates follow a wide range of career tracks, including graduate studies in physics and engineering, direct entry into the technology sector, and other careers that benefit from sharp analytical and problem solving skills.<br><br>The Department of Physics offers a rich and comprehensive program of study leading to the B.S. degree in Physics. This program is designed to prepare students not only for advanced graduate studies in physics, but also for employment upon graduation in physics and other disciplines related to science and technology.<br><br>Basic courses give the student a solid foundation in the concepts of modern physics, and assist the students in developing their analytical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Laboratory courses complement this experience with an opportunity to develop experimental skills and a working knowledge of advanced technology. Students are strongly encouraged to further develop all these skills by participating in advanced experimental, analytical, or computational research under the supervision of faculty mentors.
