What will I learn?

The Department of Mathematics and Physics offers bachelor's degrees and master's degrees in Physics with a variety of emphasis areas to prepare students for technically oriented careers. We offer bachelor's degrees in the following emphasis areas: professional sequence, astrophysics, solid state, polymer physics, engineering technology, physics education, and a customized sequence. We offer an accelerated, five-year combination of the Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees. At the master's level, we offer professional, applied and teaching options. In addition, collaborating with chemistry and engineering technology departments, we offer a master’s degree in Materials Science. We are proud to offer our undergraduate and graduate students a wide variety of research opportunities. Faculty research areas include thin film deposition, experimental analysis, computational and theoretical modeling of nanomaterials; computational and imaging applications in planetary science; computational modeling of molecular spectra and accelerator applications in tribology. We have a wide variety of scientific apparatus using vacuum systems, scanning electron micro-scope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), 3D Filmetrics profilometer, x-ray diffractometer, a UV-visible spectrometer and a dedicated computer lab. The department operates the Pittsburg State University-Greenbush Astrophysical Observatory located at the Southeast Kansas Educational Service Center at Greenbush, Kansas. The observatory's location and imaging instrumentation package make it ideal for spectroscopic or observational studies of stars, planets, comets, and asteroids. The Department of Mathematics and Physics offers pre-professional work in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, engineering physics, agricultural engineering, aeronautical engineering, general engineering, and industrial engineering. Details concerning these programs can be obtained from the department.
