The laws of physics govern the universe from the formation of stars and galaxies to the interaction of elementary particles that hold together atomic nuclei. Physics also drives many rapidly-advancing fields that shape modern daily life, such as information technology, medical technology, microelectronics, and telecommunications. The physics program at Stevens exposes students to both the theory and practice of the discipline, combining rigorous classroom instruction with hands-on research experience in one of several state-of-the-art research laboratories. Perhaps the most differentiating feature of the Stevens physics curriculum is SKIL (Science Knowledge Integration Ladder), a six-semester sequence of project-centered courses. Projects are designed to foster independent learning, innovative problem solving, collaboration and teamwork, and knowledge integration under the guidance of a faculty advisor. The SKIL sequence starts in the sophomore year with projects that integrate basic scientific knowledge and concepts; in the junior and senior years, the projects become more challenging and the level of independence increases. Industries Seeking Physics Backgrounds: government, aerospace, research labs, energy and utilities, education military, communications technology, manufacturing petrochemicals. The Bachelor of Science degree in physics is accredited by the Middle States Accreditation Board. Our graduates have a wide range of career opportunities beyond the pursuit of a traditional graduate degree in physics, including employment in industries such as telecommunications, optics, finance, medical technology, or military. Those who choose to further their physics education are accepted into some of the best graduate programs in the country.
