FOUR YEAR QUARTERLY COURSE SCHEDULES

                  The Physics program places an emphasis on laboratory courses with a hands-on approach.  The students have the opportunity to take a variety of courses in disciplines such as math and chemistry allowing them to tailor their education.  The Physics curriculum is flexible enough that one can double major in computer science, mathematics, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.  National interest in our program has been generated by our basic physics courses that use new methodologies of teaching such as studio format lectures.

                   We have a wide range of research programs accessible to undergraduates including areas such as: astronomy, solid state devices, electro-optics, non-linear optics, x-ray absorption, semiconductor, materials and devices, magnetics, chaos, lasers, fiber optics, holography, micro sensors.  In addition, we are very successful in placing our students in summer internship positions with various research facilities such as NASA, Argonne National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratory, National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and CSPAAR.
