Our students receive a strong, in-depth education in classical and modern physics. Majors are well prepared to pursue further education in graduate or professional schools, for teaching in high school, or for positions in industry and government.

Highlights
  • graduates enrolled in top graduate schools, including MIT, Notre Dame, Ohio State and Univ. of Texas (Austin)
  • students participate in research with faculty in astronomy, solid state physics, plasma physics and optics
  • cutting edge experimental research is performed on campus using the Dusty ONU experimenT (D.ONU.T)
  • majors receive summer research fellowships at universities such as Cornell, Indiana, Iowa, Wright State and UC Davis
  • we offer the full undergraduate physics curriculum necessary for success in graduate school
  • majors present papers at regional and national conferences
  • students and faculty regularly attend the meeting of the Ohio-region Section of the American Physical Society
  • small upper level courses with 5 to 10 students
  • active chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS)

Degrees offered
  • physics major (B.S.) - a rigorous major in preparation for graduate or professional school
  • modified physics major (B.S.) - for teaching licensure or as a second major for students in engineering, science and math
  • astronomy minor - for physics (and other) majors interested in astronomy
  • physics minor - for students interested in physics but majoring in another discipline
