Overview

Physics is the study of the natural world, based on understanding its most fundamental workings. Physicists explore natural systems and phenomena such as photons, quarks, atoms, solids, nanostructures, liquid crystals, superconductors, plasmas, planetary climates, stars, quasars, galaxies and black holes. Physics provides both a fundamental understanding of nature and contributes to technological developments in fields such as nanotechnology, semiconductors, lasers, magnetic resonance, and space exploration.

The Physics degree at Colorado Mesa University aims to equip graduates with:

the ability to use the core disciplines of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum theory and statistical physics,

strong analytical and mathematical skills for understanding physical scenarios,

laboratory skills,

the ability to communicate effectively about topics in the physical sciences, and

the ability to use knowledge from various branches of physics to address significant and complex problems in the subject.

These skills are useful in a wide range of disciplines and CMU Physics graduates have used them while continuing on to:

graduate school in physics, engineering, atmospheric and planetary sciences,

medical school,

technical careers in industry, defense, engineering and materials science firms,

research in national and defense laboratories, and

teaching.
