Physics
Investigate fundamental questions about the nature of matter, energy and the universe, and apply this knowledge to solve real-world problems. Many physics graduates pursue careers in science, engineering, technology and medical fields. If you are particularly interested in pursuing interdisciplinary graduate programs, you might consider our concentration in materials science.
