Physicists develop tools to understand how the world works at the most fundamental level. As a student in this discipline, you’ll learn to build mathematical models that predict and explain our observations of the natural world, to design and conduct experiments to explore physical systems, and to think critically about data and evidence in order to construct new understandings of how the world works. The Physics major prepares you for work in a variety of science, technology, engineering and mathematical (STEM) fields or graduate work in the physical sciences or engineering.
As a student in the Physics Department, you can become a well-informed leader in an interconnected world that is increasingly shaped by science and technology. Edgewood College nurtures a life-long enthusiasm for scientific discovery, and deepens your understanding, through hands-on learning—both inside and outside of the classroom. As a science major at a liberal arts institution, you will also be trained in critical thinking across disciplines and hone the oral and written communication skills that are so valuable in today’s world.
