The Department of Physics will provide North Carolina A&T State University with a comprehensive and robust program of physics designed to educate, train, and prepare a diverse group of students for careers in science, technology, engineering, physics and mathematics. Physics majors at both the undergraduate and graduate levels will learn how to analyze complex phenomena, think critically, solve problems, develop independent learning skills, and use good judgment and practical skills in various laboratory environments. These graduates will be prepared to meet our nation’s scientific workforce needs in state and federal governments, the industrial workplace, research laboratories, higher education, and secondary schools.

The Department of Physics will continue to be a recognized leader in physics education, teaching, research, and scholarship. It will play a central and critical role in building an Interdisciplinary University through the use of novel technologies in education and research.
