Overview

Do you like to get lost in the stars or figure out how objects move through time and space? Are you curious about electrons, laser holograms, computer chips, electronic gadgets, satellites, radios or superconducting magnets? Explore the physics behind these concepts with a Physics major that studies the basic principles and laws of the universe, on which engineering and technology are based.

Research Opportunities

The Central College (Iowa) department is licensed by the state of Iowa to own and use a plutonium-beryllium neutron source and a cesium gamma-ray source for experiments in atomic and nuclear physics. The on-campus observatory with an 11-inch reflector telescope allows students to observe planets, stars and other celestial objects.

Students can use an x-ray diffractometer and a high-vacuum system with a mass spectrometer to conduct additional research projects. The physics program is also supported by a mechanical shop with a mill, lathe and welding equipment.
