Physics

Physicists describe in mathematical terms the structure of the universe and interaction of matter and energy and develop theories that describe the fundamental forces and laws of nature. Applying the basic laws governing phenomena such as gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear interaction leads to discoveries and innovations. The program is intended to give the student a survey of the fundamental physical concepts that are the foundation of all the sciences. Further, the curriculum is designed to complement the sets of more specialized programs for the student interested in pursuing careers in the field. This experience will be enhanced through the use of microcomputer-based laboratories.
