Welcome

At the University of St. Thomas Physics Department, we believe that a comprehensive liberal arts education excels at developing your moral integrity, intellectual curiosity, and career competency. Our curriculum is tailored to match your needs and interests, whether you are preparing for graduate school, industrial positions, professional programs like engineering, medicine or patent law, careers in secondary or elementary education, or simply taking physics to enhance your general education.

Our faculty provide a high degree of personal attention to foster a familial, yet rigorous, educational atmosphere that is conducive to enjoyable and meaningful learning. Lively discussion and an engaging environment are encouraged in the classroom; active learning is the norm. Outside of the classroom we provide ample opportunities for students of all levels to participate in research projects during the school year and over the summer.
