Randolph offers a strong and competitive physics major. As well as the
concentration, we have the B.A. and the B.S. in
Physics and the B.S. in Engineering Physics (for students who want to do a
"dual degree" program and get a degree in physics from us and one in engineering
from an engineering school). We encourage our students
to expand their scope by taking elective courses in physics, in mathematics, the
other sciences, and in the humanities. Our physics major has
proven to be excellent in preparing students for graduate study in many
different fields. Every senior does independent research in their field of
choice, and it does not have to be a specialty of our faculty. Our faculty
specialties include geophysics, earthquake seismology, relativity, astrophysics,
science education, solid-state physics, low-temperature physics, and laser
spectroscopy.
Physics majors always have the opportunity to work with faculty in
the summer research program.
