Mission:
The mission of a college physics department is to
- Educate students to think analytically, solve complex problems and communicate scientific ideas clearly
- Prepare students for careers and further studies through rigorous training in core areas like classical and quantum mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermodynamics and modern experimental methods
- Encourage intellectual curiosity, innovation and critical thinking through active engagement in research and real world projects with faculty
- Offer a broad set of courses which connect physics to other scientific, technical and societal issues, including general education and service courses for non-major
- Foster an inclusive, collaborative and supportive learning environment for students from all backgrounds
- Engage with the community through outreach programs and support for local science.
