Mission

The mission of the Bachelor of Science Degree program in Physics is to offer traditional preparation of students for opportunities in graduate study, research, pre-engineering, and employment. There are two concentrations in the Physics degree program: Medical Physics and Pre-Engineering. The curriculum is designed to provide students with a solid foundation and training opportunities in interdisciplinary research areas such as Chemical Physics, Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering, Material Science, Optics & Lasers, and Engineering.

The Physics program offers several options for obtaining a dual degree (BS/BE). Students may earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering by completing the three-year curriculum at Dillard University and one of the two-year curriculums at the host institution:

• Columbia University (BS/BE)
• Georgia Institute of Technology (BS/BE)
• Tulane University (BS/BE)
• University of New Orleans (BS/BE)

Student Learning Outcomes

• Demonstrate preparedness for graduate study and/or entry-level employment.
• Effectively matriculate in 3-2 Pre-Engineering and Medical Physics program.
• Demonstrate preparedness for independent study and research through interaction with scholars and experts in their disciplines.
• Acquire experience through hands-on-training on major research equipment available in the program.

Dillard University, Louisiana's oldest historically Black university, is a private four-year liberal art faith-based university. Located in New Orleans, we offer 22 bachelor's degrees in the disciplines of Business, Health, and Wellness, Humanities, Nursing, STEM, and Social Sciences. Our diverse student body is comprised of students from 33 states and 12 countries.

Dillard University attracts the leaders, thinkers, and artists of tomorrow, and equips them with the tools they need to imagine and build a better world for everyone. Our students do not acquire knowledge alone; they develop compassion and high ethical standards alongside it. They think critically, but they do not stop at thinking; they act to turn their dreams into reality. In doing the work they are called to do, they do not choose the easy path over the right path. Instead, their commitment to excellence and integrity makes their work resilient by inspiring others to join their cause. Our motto, “Ex Fide, Fortis," means "From Faith, Strength." It is this faith that keeps our vision clear, our hearts full, and our actions confident and deliberate, as together we transform the world into the world that it should be.
