Department of Physics, Geosciences, and Astronomy

The Department of Physics, Geosciences, and Astronomy emphasizes hands-on experience focused on real-world problems to prepare students to lead the next generations of astronomers, environmental geoscientists, physicists, and engineers.

Physics teaches inventive thinking and problem-solving – making physicists desirable in fields as diverse as astronomy, computer science, law, medicine, and biophysics. We offer degrees in general physics, physics-engineering, and physics teaching.

Geologic and geographic information and analysis are key to a variety of exciting fields—from alternative energy solutions, weather and climate systems, hydrology, and natural disasters and hazards mitigation. We offer a degree in environmental and applied geology and a GIS certificate that can give you a competitive edge in fields as diverse as environmental management, criminal justice, health care, and more.
