Overview

Physics is offered by Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Physics explores the big questions about the universe, and students who are motivated, curious, mathematical, inventive and wish to explore these big questions will find their place at SIUE.

Key Facts

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, expected growth in federal government spending for physics research should increase the need for physicists, most notably at colleges, universities and national laboratories. In the private sector, students find that their breadth of technical knowledge is welcomed across many sectors of industry. Currently, our alumni hold positions in the military, as well as at Boeing, Caterpillar and other companies around the world. Approximately one-third of students graduating with degrees in physics go on to graduate school to continue their education in physics or other science disciplines. Some students find the rigor of physics excellent preparation for professional schools and pursue advanced education opportunities in medicine or patent law. While the Department of Physics does not offer a teaching degree, the Bachelor of Science curriculum can be customized to prepare students for teacher certification at a later time.
