Physics

The Physics Department provides an education in the fundamental processes of the physical world. In addition to the full spectrum of undergraduate coursework, we offer many opportunities to participate in research projects both on and off campus. Current research activities in the department include experimental investigations in astrophysics, fluid dynamics, condensed matter physics, plasma physics, and theoretical nuclear and particle physics. Many of our students have also participated in projects at nearby institutions such as Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
