Our students can choose from two degree options and three physics concentrations to tailor an academic program that best meets their needs.
Small classes make for personal attention from a nationally-recognized faculty.
Work opportunities within the department acquaint physics majors with laboratory design and development as well as computer-aided data acquistion and control. Research opportunites with faculty members offer first-hand experience in professional physics collaborations. A bachelor's degree in physics or engineering physics from UT offers students exceptional preparation for advanced study or professional employment. The undergraduate physics major provides a thorough introduction to all core areas of physics. At the same time it allows students with special interests to pursue different concentrations.
