Physics
Offered at IU Indianapolis by School of Science
About
All physics majors study the foundations of physics, which include classical mechanics, classical electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, relativity, and statistical physics. Physics majors learn to be problem-solvers and to think rigorously and analytically.
In our Bachelor of Science program, you'll take several courses in mathematics and chemistry. Depending on your career goals, you may also take additional courses in chemistry, biology, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or additional math and physics courses.
Our undergraduates are encouraged to participate in research.
Students earning the Bachelor of Science in Physics have the option of a biophysics concentration.
Physicists become patent attorneys, doctors, and financiers. They have invented many of the fundamental technologies we rely on daily, like electric motors, generators, lasers, and medical imaging systems.
