Bachelor in Physics

Overview

Bloomsburg University’s Department of Physics and Engineering Technology offers a hands-on approach to undergraduate programs in:

• Physics
• Health Physics (Radiation Safety)
• Electronics Engineering Technology
• Secondary Education: Physics

We also offer a cooperative 3+2 engineering science program at Penn State University.

Research and Practical Projects

With large laboratories and state of the art equipment, all of our programs feature extensive experiments and opportunities to participate in research and practical projects. From designing “smart boxes” for tracking materials in hospitals to investigating quantum mechanical properties of atoms at temperatures near absolute zero, our students are active in cutting-edge research and design.

Collaborative Research

At Bloomsburg University, we encourage students to get involved in collaborative research with faculty members. Current areas of research include:

• Alternative Energy — consisting of the distinct areas of biofuels, wind energy, and organic photovoltaic cells.
• Ultra-Cold Atomic Physics
• Stellar Astrophysics
• Health and Medical Physics
• Power Electronics — using power semiconductors, magnetics, controls, and digital systems with aerospace applications.

Founded in 1839, Bloomsburg was built on the vision that higher education should be available to anyone who is ready to work for a better life. Today that tradition continues, with limitless opportunities for our students across the Commonwealth and beyond.

Bloomsburg University is an inclusive comprehensive public university that prepares students for personal and professional success in an increasingly complex global environment. Building on a rich history of academic excellence as one of 14 public universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, Bloomsburg University prepares and inspires students to become dynamic and confident leaders. As the university on the hill, Bloomsburg University overlooks the Town of Bloomsburg and is situated a few hundred yards from the community's business district with Bloomsburg Hospital across the street from a cluster of residence halls.
