Our physics faculty have been awarded corporate and government funding to support active undergraduate research programs. Our near-space research program launches high-altitude balloons to more than 120,000 feet that are tracked with our custom-designed GPS tracking and telemetry systems. As part of this program, you can design and conduct experiences, develop electronics and software, perform mathematical and physical modeling, and participate in launch, tracking, and recovery.

Our magnetic imaging research program provides the opportunity to work with a SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device), providing hands-on experience with advanced electronics and signal processing, cryogenics, vacuum systems, mechanical design, superconductivity, data acquisition, scientific instrumentation, and software development.

The hands-on experience you gain also prepares you to excel in further research or to continue your education at highly competitive graduate or medical schools.
