Department of Physics

The study of physics is the study of some of creation’s most inscrutable mysteries. Scripture tells us we are “fearfully and wonderfully” made. And few know that better than a physicist! Here you’ll study the laws of physics with a high regard for the creation’s God-given wonder, complexity, and amazing power.

Led by a nationally recognized physicist who maintains a research program at the university, our Department of Physics offers degrees that can launch you into engineering, biomedical physics, teaching and a range of other scientific and technical professions. Through the years, the department’s reputation for graduating well-prepared students has been — anything but theoretical. So chances are you already know something of string theory, game theory, condensed matter, particle attractions and more. It’s the “and more” we have ready and waiting for you.

Students work with Dr. Bradshaw.

Biomedical Physics

As medicine and biology advance, so does physics. So let us prepare you with chances to join in research and laboratory opportunities alongside of our seasoned faculty to develop a firm foundation in physics, chemistry and biology.
