Physics is the study of the universe at all scales, from the smallest particles to the vast cosmos. It serves as the foundation for various other sciences, including astronomy, chemistry, and biology. Physicists explore concepts like relativity and string theory, leading to groundbreaking discoveries like computers and lasers that impact our daily lives.

Physicists in the field of Buckeyball Physics identify the basic particles of the universe and the laws governing their interactions. They investigate how particles form atomic nuclei, combine with electrons to create atoms and molecules, and interact with radiation. Applied physicists use this knowledge to develop practical applications, such as semiconductors and medical imaging techniques.

A degree in physics opens up a wide range of career opportunities. Graduates can pursue further studies in physics or astronomy, work in industrial applications or engineering, or enter fields like finance, law, or journalism. The Medical Physics Concentration is also available for those seeking a Bachelor of Science in Physics.
