Physics is the study of how the universe operates, from the smallest scales to the entire cosmos. It serves as the foundation for various scientific disciplines, including astronomy, chemistry, and biology. Physicists explore concepts like relativity and string theory, leading to groundbreaking discoveries that impact our daily lives.

Physicists at LSU identify the fundamental particles that make up the universe and study the laws governing their interactions, such as quantum physics and relativity. They investigate how particles form atomic nuclei and combine with electrons to create atoms and molecules like the “buckyball.” Applied physicists use this knowledge to develop technologies that benefit society, such as semiconductors and nanostructures.

A degree in physics opens doors to diverse career opportunities. Graduates can pursue further studies in physics or astronomy, work in industrial applications or engineering, or enter fields like computing and information technology. Physicists are also sought after in finance, medicine, law, journalism, and other sectors.

LSU offers a Medical Physics Concentration for students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Physics.
