    Why Study Physics?Physics is the scientific study of the material universe at its most fundamental level. A physicist might study the inner workings of atoms and nuclei, the size and age of the universe, the behavior of high-temperature superconductors, or the life cycles of stars, from their formation out of interstellar gases to their end-states as pulsars or black holes. Physicists use high-energy accelerators to search for quarks; they design new laser systems for applications in medicine

  • PLU offered the opportunity for me to simultaneously pursue my passion for engineering and my love for music, and I just could not turn down an opportunity like that.

    Profiles - PhysicsKelvin Adams:“PLU offered the opportunity for me to simultaneously pursue my passion for engineering and my love for music, and I just could not turn down an opportunity like that.”Joseph Olson:“My professors here at PLU were amazing and instantly acted as mentors, shaping my beliefs and values. Outside of physics, I embraced the liberal arts side of my education, gleaning the most of my non-major classes to better prepare me for my role in the larger world. PLU provided the
