On Campus
Students who enjoy math and are curious about things like learning what makes a plane fly, a wineglass sing, or how to move water without touching it are prime candidates to pursue a Physics degree.
At UNK, class sizes are small and allow you to get to know your instructors, ask for help, and receive advice in a comfortable atmosphere. This level of personalized instruction gives students a unique advantage as they grow in their scientific expertise.
Practical experience is vital to mastering physics, and at UNK, students have the opportunity to engage in active research with a faculty mentor and often travel to various conferences such as Women in Physics, the National Conference on Undergraduate Research, and the American Physical Society to present their research to peers.
Physicists are an excellent match for science, engineering, and technology jobs because of their breadth of analysis, problem-solving, and project-management skills, and their depth of science and math training.
