What is Physics?

Humans have always been inquisitive. Since pre-historic times we have tried to understand the world around us. Physics as a discipline encompasses much of this voyage of discovery, from the tiniest sub-atomic particles, through the materials that surround us in our everyday life, to the unimaginably huge, such as galaxies and the universe itself. Physicists try to understand the structure and interactions between these objects at a fundamental level through experiments, observations, theoretical models, calculations, and simulations. They are also involved in the development of new technologies that are often based on recent discoveries from basic research.

Why Study Physics?

Are you the type of person who takes things to pieces, just to see how they work? Have you ever wondered how an airplane stays in the air, or how the planets stay in orbit around the sun, or whence came all the elements that we and the earth around us are made of? Well then, physics may be the choice for you. Studying physics can be intellectually stimulating. Finally understanding why things happen the way they do—and being able to make predictions that can be tested—can be very fulfilling to an inquisitive mind. A bachelor’s degree in physics can open many doors: to more focused research, jobs in technology and computing, or any field where good analytical skills are required.

The physics major consists of 43 hours. Students who wish to apply physics to other career goals such as chemistry, mathematics, education, law, medicine, or journalism should consult with the department curriculum chair about appropriate alternate courses.

Physics graduates are highly marketable. Physicists have a low unemployment rate and lots of options. As a career, physics covers specialized fields—from acoustics, astronomy, and astrophysics to medical physics, geophysics, and vacuum sciences. A physics degree opens doors to employment opportunities throughout the world in government, industry, schools, and private organizations.
