We pride ourselves on the attention we can give to undergraduates. A typical sophomore or junior physics class has only 10 or 12 students. You can have as much personal contact with faculty members as you want. Some have won awards for their innovative teaching. Please look at some of our course home pages .
Professors frequently recruit undergraduates to participate.
Read about some undergraduate research from the point of view of the students themselves. In short, the sky is the limit here. As a physics major at UNC, you can learn as much as you want.
