- The department offers programs for physics majors, pre-engineering students, students who require
a physics cognate, and non-science students.
- The faculty have backgrounds in
atomic physics, nuclear physics,
acoustics and surface physics, as well
as astronomy and planetary science.
- Students have opportunities to participate in faculty research projects
including neutron activation
analysis, environmental radiation monitoring, computational physics,
telescope observing projects, and
planetary science.
- Facilities include computer-aided laboratories, an
X-ray diffraction system, a 14" Celestron
telescope, and a
historically significant Alvan Clark
telescope.
- Opportunities are available for off-campus study during the school year, particularly participation in
the Great Lakes Association's Oak Ridge Science Semester conducted at Oak Ridge National
Laboratory in Tennessee. The curriculum in physics can be adjusted to accommodate participation
in other off-campus study programs as well.
- A prize established by Nobel Laureate E.T.S. Walton is given annually to the outstanding senior
physics major.
