Program(s) Available: B.S.,小

Does math come naturally to you? What about critical thinking and problem-solving? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you might be a prime candidate for the 物理 主要的!

为什么学习 物理 at Northwest

物理 主要的s gain a holistic understanding of the basic principles of the universe. No big deal, right? You'll leave Northwest with a solid understanding of the underlying laws of matter, space and time. Coursework is calculus heavy and not for the weak of heart. However, some people are meant for this stuff. 

的 cool thing about this program is that students put knowledge to the test by learning, hands-on. 例如, you'll get the chance to use gamma-ray spectroscopes to study nuclear 物理 and electrical circuits. We also offer the best facilities for 物理 students. 的 award-winning 院长李. Hubbard Center for Innovation features more than $3 million invested in state-of-the-art instruments available for you to use! 的 Garrett-Strong Science Building, another building you'll spend lots of time in, offers 26 labs where students gain profession-based experience on campus. 

的 good news is that the job outlook for physicists and astronomers is growing rapidly. 的 Bureau of Labor and Statistics shares that over the next several years, the job outlook is projected to 增加 by 8%! 这是关于 2,000 more jobs than there are currently. 

A common misconception about 物理 is that it is only for future engineers. That's simply not true! Whether you want to pursue math, 咨询, 质量控制, 工程, science or technology in the public or private sectors, the 物理 主要的 is a very impressive degree. 的re aren't many people who can say they are proficient in calculus and 物理. 

的 物理 主要的 offers four emphases to choose from: 

  • Biological science
  • 计算机科学
  • 一般
  • Geological science

To learn more about each emphasis, keep reading!

职业生涯做好准备
Biological Sciences

One of my favorite classes was human anatomy. By working in labs and doing research, I really got hands-on experience with science, and that motivated me to go into the medical field. ——马特·布林
