Augsburg Physics Overview
The principles of physics underlie every physical aspect of
our world,
from the smallest subatomic particle to the largest
galaxy in outer space.
The work of the physicist is to
uncover these fundamental principles upon
which other
scientific work can be based. Each day physicists make
significant
contributions in many areas of science, including
meteorology, medicine,
oceanography and space
exploration.
Far from being an isolated science, physics is very much a
part of the
world in which we live. Discoveries in physics
have affected history,
political science, philosophy and other
disciplines - even the arts.
Augsburg College offers one of the strongest undergraduate
physics programs available in a private liberal arts school
setting. At Augsburg, physics students have rigorous and
up-to-date preparation in physics, ready access to
professors, and the opportunity to work with faculty or local
industry on research projects. There is also the opportunity
to grow in other ways through the college's strong liberal arts
programs and extracurricular activities such as the fine arts
and athletics.
