But, have you ever paid any attention to the basis of such technological advancements? It is physics. What makes Physicists so special is their excellent mathematical, computational, analytical and problems solving skills. Consequently, they are sought in several different areas such as engineering, computers, medicine/biology, design and development, military, communication, economics, law, teaching, management and administration, etc. So, think about getting a PHYSICS degree for a bright future! Please read Physics Today, 1995 and 1997 for more interesting facts and click here to find out who is hiring physics majors.

Physics majors generally receive excellent salaries. Click (AIP and WSJ) for a comparison of salary increase by major and click here to find a list of BS granting institutions producing the most physics bachelor’s. We rank eleventh in the nation!

I’ll be teaching Introductory Physics (Phys-101), Electronics (Phys-320), and Electronics Lab (Phys-320L) this semester.  I’ve always enjoyed my role as a physics teacher in fostering the scientific knowledge and creativity of our students. I hope I’ll be able to provide the right guidance to my students to achieve their dream in this semester as well and I am looking forward to another productive and exciting year!

Welcome, New and Returning Students!
