我们的部门探索了控制自然宇宙的基本定律，从夸克到纳米电子学再到星系力学。然后我们致力于这些法律在现实世界中的应用，这些法律将为明天的技术做出贡献。作为物理与天文学系的学生，您可以与我们以学生为中心的爱心教师紧密合作，通过研究经验做出贡献。教师是该领域需求最大的一些教育者。如果您想将对教学的热爱与对物理的热情相结合，那么Ball State的物理教学专业将是您的正确选择。您将从我们的计划中毕业，具备出色的物理高中和/或中学教师的能力。物理教学专业将获得中学物理教学的执照，并获得中学科学教学的证书。
Our department explores the fundamental laws governing the natural universe, from quarks to nanoscale electronics to the mechanics of galaxies. And then we work on real-world applications of these laws that contribute to the technology of tomorrow.As a student in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, you can contribute through research experiences in close collaboration with our caring, student-centered faculty.Science teachers are some the most in-demand educators in the field. If you want to combine your love for teaching with your passion for physics, then Ball State’s major in physics teaching is the right option for you. You’ll graduate from our program equipped to excel as a high school andor middle school teacher in physics.A major in physics teaching will result in a secondary licensure to teach physics, as well as certification to teach middle school science.
