Physics

The objective of the major in physics is to provide skills, understanding, and the methodology required to initiate active participation in the development of new knowledge about the material universe. The approach of the physicist based on the analysis of mathematical models dealing with matter and energy and their interactions, supplies a unique and important insight to the solution of problems in many disciplines. A study by the Office of Institutional Research at Franklin and Marshall College showed that the University of Scranton ranked in the top 5% of four-year, private, primarily undergraduate institutions as the baccalaureate origin of physics doctorates.
