The objectives of the department are to develop the student鈥檚 comprehension of the basic principles of physics, to develop analytical and problem-solving skills, to instill a sense of inquiry in the student, to develop an appreciation of the role of physics in our attempt to understand the universe, and to develop an understanding of its power to deal with problems related to technology and the environment. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for graduate study in physics and related fields as well as to provide students with a foundation for work in education or the private sector.

The physics requirements of all degree paths are the same. The department also offers major specializations within the Physics-Liberal Arts program: Pre-graduate physics, Astrophysics, Biomedical Physics, Computational Physics, Condensed Matter and Geophysics. Self-designed specializations are also possible. The department encourages all students to engage deeply in the major through research opportunities within the department and to broaden their liberal education by exploring opportunities for liberal learning concentrations, minors, and study abroad experiences.

Physics: Secondary Education

The Physics-Secondary Education program prepares students to become teachers of physics in the secondary public schools of New Jersey and many other states. It includes a liberal learning component, a strong and broad foundation in the content area with an emphasis in physics, as well as professional experience both in the classroom and in the field. Upon completion of the basic program, students are prepared for certification in physics in New Jersey.
