Home > Welcome From the Chairman, We in Physics and Astronomy are committed to the goal of combining the excitement of a research university with the sense of community one finds at a small college. By focusing on a few core areas - astronomy and cosmology, quantum and condensed matter physics, plasma and space physics) - we provide a selection of independent research opportunities as well as an array of specialized courses and research seminars in addition to the core courses. We place a high priority on teaching and mentorship at both the (graduate and undergraduate levels). Whether you wish to pursue a career in Physics/Astronomy, or study it enroute to a career elsewhere, we think you will find a welcoming environment here. What's new...
