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

For some, summer is a time for play. For others, it’s a time for work. But for many at PLU, it’s a time for a little bit of both — through science.
professional development workshops and close collaboration with professors. This summer was no different, as 31 students assisted faculty from the biology, chemistry, computer science, geosciences, mathematics and physics departments in a variety of research endeavors. Each year, the students present their findings from the 10-week program, and collect $4,500. Here is a collection of some of this year’s participants, who were selected through a competitive application process. Division of Natural SciencesA

Degrees in PhysicsWe offer two Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degrees, in Physics and Applied Physics; we also offer a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree and a minor in Physics. The physics major offers a challenging program emphasizing a low student-faculty ratio and the opportunity to engage in independent research projects. There are two introductory course sequences, College Physics and General Physics; the General Physics sequence incorporates calculus and is required for all majors and the minor
