CHAIR OF THE DEPARTMENT: Professor Grier
DIRECTOR OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES:Professor Richardson

Physics at the College of Arts and Science is a multidimensional discipline. The department offers several tracks of study designed for preprofessional students as well as aspiring physicists. A detailed curriculum is worked out for each student, with individual attention to progress and career plans.

The physics major may participate in internationally recognized research activities carried out by the faculty. Some major areas of specialization include astrophysics, atomic physics, condensed matter physics, and elementary particle physics.

In addition to technical physics courses, the department offers general interest courses intended to broaden the scientific background of nonscience majors.
