SMU values intelligence and rewards hard-working students through various departmental and collegiate awards. SMU's physics graduates have been accepted to outstanding graduate programs such as those at the University of Chicago , Stanford , Berkeley , and Columbia University , as well as directly into science and engineering industries. Even during their first year, students are taught by faculty members, rather than by teaching assistants.
Students learn from faculty members who are prominent researchers , as well as committed professors.
Check out our research page to find out more about current projects. Most of SMU's Physics majors hold double or even triple majors in such diverse fields as computer science , engineering , music performance , art history , and mathematics , illustrating their drive and dedication to learning. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
