The Department of Physics at Salisbury University Welcomes You!

Many people think that physics is something new - but physics started before recorded history when people first discovered reoccurring relationships in their environment. Through careful observation of these relationships they began to know nature, and because of nature's dependability, they found they could make reliable predictions that would seem to give them some control over their surroundings.

You have begun what we hope will be an exciting and interesting endeavor. We are confident that you have the ability, creativity and motivation to succeed here at Salisbury University.

The Department of Physics offers a program of study which allows each student flexibility to choose an inspiring set of courses that will advance the student toward a chosen career. With the assistance of physics faculty advisors each student will select a program of theoretical and experimental courses through which they will gain an understanding of the broad range of principles which characterize the discipline of physics; and they will acquire the ability to apply theoretical and experimental techniques to explore a wide variety of ideas.

Graduates will be prepared for highly technical post-baccalaureate employment in applied physics, engineering physics, and other scientific areas. Graduates of the Secondary Education Physics track will be prepared to teach high school physics.

The department is committed to a professional and supportive environment within which faculty and staff can make their maximum contribution and students will achieve their full potential.
