What the college says

Physics is a challenging subject. A physics student explores qualitatively and quantitatively the cause and effect relationships of the world around us, the world inside us, and the world beyond us. It is the most basic and fundamental science. Physics challenges our imaginations with concepts such as relativity and quantum phenomena, and it leads to great discoveries, like computers and lasers, that lead to technologies which change our lives—from healing joints, to curing cancer, to developing sustainable energy solutions.
