About the course

The Department of Physics is part of the natural, mathematical and biomedical sciences discipline in the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences. The department offers undergraduate degrees in physics and biophysics and graduate physics degrees, both an M.S. and Ph.D. Graduate students in physics gain knowledge of advanced physics concepts, including advanced mechanics, electromagnetic theory, advanced quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, along with mathematical methods in physics and computational physics. Additional courses in quantum field theory, solid-state physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics and biophysics are offered. An integral part of the program involves students in active and frontier research. For students interested in experimental, observational and applied physics, our association with national and international laboratories allows hands-on training and original research. We maintain research affiliations and collaborations with researchers at the Jefferson Lab National Accelerator Facility, the Naval Research Laboratories, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. We also have ties with international research institutions. Concentrations include nuclear physics, astrophysics and condensed-matter physics as well as interdisciplinary studies in materials science and biophysics.
