Overview

As physicists, we attempt to infer underlying physical principles from the world around us.

The study of Physics is a challenging and intellectually rewarding activity elected by those who seek to sharpen and broaden their appreciation and understanding of the physical world and their relationship to it.

The Physical World and Your Relation to It

Courses offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy are designed to bring the student to an increasingly independent level of investigation in experimental and theoretical physics. Denison University offers a variety of facilities and equipment for teaching and research in the physical sciences.

Mission Statement

The mission of the Department of Physics & Astronomy follows from the statement of purpose of the college:

Our purpose is to inspire and educate our students to become autonomous thinkers, discerning moral agents, and active citizens…. We seek to engage students in a liberal arts education which fosters self-determination and demonstrates the transformative power of education…. Our curriculum balances breadth with depth…. Our faculty is committed to undergraduate education… effective teaching informed by the best scholarship… (and they) encourage (our) undergraduates to be partners in original investigation….

In our February 2013 retreat, we developed a revised set of specific academic goals, affirming that each of our students should develop:

an understanding of the principal physical laws which govern the physical world
a mastery of the fundamental reasoning process used in solving problems
the ability to use requisite mathematical techniques and computational tools to solve physics problems
an understanding of electronics and computer measurements
the ability to identify, organize, and conduct an independent investigation in physics and communicate the results
