About the department

Opportunities abound! The Department of Physics at Oregon State University has an active graduate-level research program and offers degree programs leading to Ph.D., M. S., B. S., and B.A. degrees in physics (within the College of Science ), and the B. S. degree in engineering physics (within the College of Engineering ).

Many options within the physics degree are available, and we also offer a minor in physics. Our interdisciplinary degree in computational physics is receiving national recognition as a model program.

Our undergraduate program provides a modern approach to physics and a variety of interactive class formats. “Paradigms in Physics”, the junior year sequence, is a series of nine, 3-week courses, based on central concepts in physics. “Capstones in Physics” is the senior-year program, designed to help students consolidate, broaden, and deepen their understanding of the subjects introduced in the junior-year.

Located in the uniquely livable city of Corvallis, the Department of Physics at Oregon State University is a great choice for research, education and lifestyle.
