Students who have a passion for understanding how things work and enjoy scientific experiments and mathematics are often drawn to the study of physics. The concepts of physics, from relativity to quantum mechanics, challenge the imagination, and technologies developed by physicists play a major role in chemistry, biology, medicine, electronics, geology, and other fields. The Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences teaches students to excel in a variety of problem-solving scenarios, which allows them to seek employment in a wide range of academic, government, and industrial settings, well beyond the traditional boundaries of physics. Physics teaches how to use sophisticated mathematics to solve complex, real-world problems, which is why physicists are in high demand in nearly every field.
