Physical Oceanography Students

Physics graduates are highly valued for their analytical and problem solving skills. This leads to desirable positions with very competitive entry-level salaries.

Welcome to the Department of Physics and Physical Oceanography web site! The department provides quality programs leading to B.S. and B.A. degrees in physics, with additional options in Physical Oceanography (proposed) or the Combined 3+2 Physics/Electrical Engineering Program. If you have a curiosity about how things work and enjoy experiments and mathematics, then you should study physics. We welcome double majors and minors.
