Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences – PHYSICS
College of Science, Engineering, and Technology
If you have ever wondered scientifically, “why” something is the way it is, or “how” can something exist or behave the way it does, then you’ve entered the realm of physics. Physics is the most fundamental of all sciences, and is the study of nature that is all around us. Physicists try to understand the most basic laws that govern the behavior of nature.
The Physics program will prepare students to compete globally by offering rigorous quality programs in physics, meteorology, and earth system science that will drive them to becoming passionate lifelong learners and leaders through professional service and scholarly contributions within the world’s scientific community. Our program is becoming the country’s primary source of African American who hold Bachelor’s Degrees in Meteorology and Earth System Science. Our students participate in research projects in well-equipped laboratories and present the results at national conferences.
