Overview

About this Degree at Villanova University

Physics is an experimental science in which its practitioners investigate nature at the most fundamental level on scales ranging from subatomic distances to the size of the universe. It is a quest to understand the origin and behavior of all forces: forces that account for the observed stability and in some cases instability of the atomic nucleus; forces that account for the stability of the atom; and forces that account for the stability of matter and the large-scale structures of the universe.

Key Facts

In this sense, it is the most fundamental of all physical sciences, and the successful physics student will be adept at solving problems using techniques that probe the fundamental building blocks of nature.

Being trained to analyze phenomena at the most fundamental level makes the physics major versatile. Therefore, the student who successfully completes the degree in physics will not only be well prepared for graduate studies in physics, but also for employment in research-oriented industries or study in professional fields.
