Mathematics, computer science, and chemistry majors will find the physics minor especially helpful. More and more employers in these fields seek out applicants with a physics background. The physics department has a chapter of the Society of Physics Students, which is affiliated with the American Institute of Physics. Our active chapter organizes many interesting events each year. Trips to national laboratories, tours of engineering departments, and social events are just a few.
New students are welcome and encouraged to become contributing members.
You will have a wide variety of career choices with the three separate programs offered at Shippensburg University. In addition, the university offers you a comfortable atmosphere where the emphasis is on quality teaching and student-faculty interaction. If you wish to get solid training in physics at an institution where you are treated as an individual and where the faculty have time for you, then consider attending Shippensburg University. We also offer the opportunity for top undergraduate students to get involved in research projects, a privilege most universities reserve for graduate students.
