If you think deeply and dream big, the physics program at UM is the place to be. You can focus your physics degree in astronomy and learn about the inner workings of the universe, study computational physics and develop the skills required for computational modeling of physical systems, or get the training to become a science teacher in K-12 schools. No matter what you choose, youll have exceptional opportunities for undergraduate research and hands-on learning. There are many ways to extend your learning beyond the classroom as a physics major at UM. You can create and present shows at our planetarium, serve as a guide at the observatory, or visit local schools with our portable StarLab planetarium. You wont find a more excited, engaged and enthusiastic group on campus than our physics majors. Youll also benefit from personal mentorship by faculty in a close-knit, supportive program where youre inspired to think big and be your best.
