Course Overview

It provides a foundation for all the natural sciences and engineering disciplines. Physics has brought such revolutions as relativity, quantum mechanics and the Big Bang theory, profoundly altering the way mankind views the universe.

Physicists have played a major role in the discovery of many phenomena leading to whole new technologies. The invention of the transistor, by physicists, has made the modern computer possible, while the development of lasers has led to diverse applications ranging from supermarket scanners to laser surgery. The physicist is a versatile problem solver and able to excel in many technical fields.

A degree in physics from Saint Louis University leads to a broad-based understanding of natural phenomena, analytical and computer skills, measurements and their limitations, experience with electronics and the operation of sophisticated equipment, and the ability to formulate and solve technical problems.

Physics is a great major for students who are curious about the universe and want to learn how everything works. Many physics students also have a strong interest in mathematics, computers and other sciences, as well as strong a desire to understand why the universe behaves the way it does. They are interested in questions such as: Why do elementary particles behave the way they do? What is the world made of? What is the nature of light? How did the universe begin, and what will eventually happen to it? Some of our students pursue double majors in fields such as mathematics, computer science or an engineering field or take the courses required for entrance to law school or medical school.
