Program Overview
Physics forms the bedrock of our understanding of Nature. Any physical object or process, or even the structure of the whole universe itself, can be the subject of physics. Physicists study a diverse array of systems, from the simplest subatomic particles to the most complex processes found in biological cells or in the Earth's climate. Physics provides a set of fundamental tools that can be brought to bear on many problems across a wide variety of fields. A program in physics has much to offer. A knowledge of physics is a powerful asset in research and teaching, as well as professions like Medicine or Law, or for careers involving the environmental, geological or biological sciences. An understanding of physics is essential for those who are concerned about how society is affected by climate change or advanced technology. The conceptual problem-solving tools one acquires as a physicist can be applied with great success to many occupations.
