物理技术引领了世界上许多激动人心的发明，从计算机和万维网到激光和X射线技术。但是，当涉及到物理宇宙的自然定律时，仍然有很多发现。在该程序中，您将研究物质和能量的性质和行为，并侧重于经典力学，电和磁，现代物理学，量子力学和热物理学。您将学习运用这些知识来解决医学，技术，能源和许多其他领域的复杂科学难题。物理专业的学生将获得使用最新研究技术和计算机技术进行设计和进行实验的动手经验。该部门还通过由美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation）赞助的该部门的本科生研究经验（REU）计
Physics has led to many of the world's most exciting inventions, from computers and the World Wide Web, to lasers and X-ray technology. But when it comes to the natural laws of the physical universe, there is still much to be discovered.<br><br>In this program, you will study the nature and behavior of matter and energy, with a focus on classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, modern physics, quantum mechanics and thermal physics. You will learn to apply this knowledge to solve complex scientific puzzles in medicine, technology, energy and many other areas.<br><br>Physics majors gain hands-on experience designing and conducting experiments using the very latest research techniques and computer technologies. The department also offers special research opportunities through the department's Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, sponsored by the National Science Foundation.
