Why Study Physics?
Everyone has their own reasons, here’s some from the American Physical Society:
- Most basic and fundamental science
- Physics encompasses the study of the universe from the largest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particles
- Physics is the basis of many other sciences, including chemistry, oceanography, seismology, and astronomy
Why Study Physics at CSU?
CSU offers a rigorous and comprehensive physics education in a friendly, small-department environment, ensuring you will receive individualized attention. Once a student has completed freshman-level coursework, the typical size of physics classes is 15-45. In addition to their involvement in world-class research, department faculty take pride in teaching, mentoring and advising undergraduate students. Students are also encouraged to get involved in cutting-edge research and other co-curricular activities at the earliest opportunity.
Contact our Key Advisor, Dr. Marty Gelfand, with any questions about our undergraduate program.
