Physics

Physics majors study the fundamental nature of reality using mathematical models based on experiment, observation, and intuition. If you major in physics, you will study a broad range of topics ranging from the tiniest of subatomic particles to the largest: the universe itself. You will explore concepts as seemingly simple as tossing a ball, and as arcane as what the universe looks like when you travel near the speed of light. As physics major, your quest to learn the mathematical underpinnings of the nature of reality is the first step toward understanding, and ultimately explaining, this strange and beautiful existence we all inhabit.
