Physics - Cornell College

Physics from Cornell College is a Campus Bachelor Physics degree that prepares you for a Science career. Why Study Physics at Cornell? Physics attempts to discover the ultimate constituents of matter and the nature of their interactions. It uses a few basic physical principals, coupled with human imagination and creativity, to construct models (theories) which are then used to make predictions about the behavior of the physical universe. These models are then tested by observation and experimentation. Physics at Cornell We believe in an experiential approach to learning, and Cornell's One-Course-At-A-Time schedule gives us time to do more than lecture. We frequently work in groups on hands-on activities or problem solving, while the professor is present to provide guidance and feedback. The Cornell physics department is small, so the professors have the opportunity to get to know each of the students in their major, and can help tailor students' experiences to their preferences and goals. Physics Grads Our coursework prepares majors for graduate work in physics or related fields such as astronomy and engineering. But we also encourage our students to make the most of their liberal arts education at Cornell. Many students find connections between physics and other fields and discover that their analytical and problem-solving skills are highly valued in many occupations, including software development, financial markets, business, and technical fields.
