Physics is more than the basic science that brings us closest to comprehending the universe and the laws of nature — it is also the foundation for a technological economy. The physics curriculum is an opportunity to learn the power of scientific thinking, to build a respect for evidence, and to see the consistency of natural laws. Southern’s physics students go on to do research, engineering, and systems development in industry or to study advanced physics, materials science or engineering in graduate school.
