Why Augsburg?

There are several reasons to choose Augsburg's Physics
Department:

*Augsburg is a small liberal arts school in the city where you
are valued as a person and not just an insignificant component
of a huge class (~175 students or more).

*With classes being smaller, you can get to know your
professors who will take the tme to ensure that you have the
best chance of success.

*There are many research opportunities (space physics and
biophysics) available where you work closely with faculty on
cutting edge research.

*We have a dual degree program where you can receive a
B.A. in physics then transfer to the University of Minnesota or
Michigan Tech for two more years. In a total of five years, you
will have received a B.A. in physics from Augsburg and a B.S.
degree from the engineering school. Your increased knowledge
of mathematics and physics (from that extra year) will make
you a stronger engineer.

*Many of our students enjoy the large variety of extracurricular
activities that are available here at Augsburg.

*At Augsburg, we wil help you develop into a complete and
well-rounded person, not just a "techie" who is unable to
communicate their ideas with others. The strong liberal arts
component here at Augsburg ensures this.
