The Department of Physics degree programs with various options leading to the Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees. The physics program is small enough to assure individualized attention to each student, yet large enough to offer the full spectrum of courses and opportunities characterizing a graduate research institution. Advanced undergraduate physics majors work alongside doctoral-level graduate students and faculty researchers of international reputation in such fields as condensed matter physics and nuclear physics. Research grant support and recent state excellence grants have further enhanced Kent State University's Liquid Crystal Institute and its Center for Nuclear Research, in addition to supporting an initiative in high-temperature superconductivity.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Most physicists are employed by educational institutions, industrial firms, government laboratories, or federally funded research and development centers.By combining the study of physics with a related science, graduates can pursue careers in astrophysics, biophysics, chemical physics, and geophysics. Vocations in physics fall into four major categories:
