What the college says

Physics is the study of matter and energy and how they interact with each other. Physics goes from a grand scale, aka the Universe, to the very smallest parts of the building blocks of everything: atoms, and then even smaller than that to look at the particles that build up the nucleus. Physics is not set in stone, fixed and for all time. It, like other sciences, is constantly evolving and new theories, discoveries, and ways of thinking gradually take the place of previous knowledge and understanding. You can be part of this new age of discovery.
