New Page 1 Physics programs at Juniata College prepare students for success in a wide range of endeavors. There is great flexibility for students with individualized interests as well. Graduates of the Juniata Physics Department have gone on to prominent careers in a number of areas. Honors and positions that some of our graduates have earned include the 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics, faculty positions both at major universities and liberal arts colleges, positions in industry, engineering, and other fields.
Many students choose a program with a traditional physics or engineering physics emphasis.
Such students primarily pursue careers in industry or graduate studies. The Department also administers joint 3-2 engineering programs with Columbia University, The Pennsylvania State University, Clarkson University, and Washington University in St. Louis. A designated program leading to physics certification in secondary school is also popular.
