We offer a variety of degree programs in Physics that provide students great opportunities
in education and industry that are on the cutting edge of science, engineering, and
technology with very attractive flexibility. Students may choose from
➢ BS in Physics
o With General track
o Electrical Engineering Physics track (new)
o Mechanical Engineering Physics track (new)
o Physics Education Track (new)
➢ BA in Physics
With the proper choice of minor field of study, our physics majors are well prepared
for higher education or employment in diverse areas in science and/or engineering
positions in industry. The BS in education program comes with the certification to
teach in the state of GA.
We offer small, personalized upper level physics classes with maximum of 15 students
and these classes are taught by our outstanding distinguished faculty holding Ph.D.
degrees in different areas of physics, and their combined professional academic experience
make them excellent teachers and mentors. All the introductory courses are taught
by faculty members. Our laboratory classes are offered separately to offer more flexibility
for students while giving hand on activities that are necessary for conceptual understanding.
Our department offers our students opportunities to participate in undergraduate research
and outreach programs. We have a very active Society of Physics Students (SPSUSPS)
that organizes variety of events where students can actively involve and enjoy while
contributing to the society as a student.
Most of our students continue the study Physics at the graduate level and those who
aspire to industry positions that are on the cutting edge of science and engineering
technology find that a degree in Physics from SPSU is an excellent choice. Our Physics
degree offers students the flexibility to add a minor field of study to the Physics
major, which allows them to diversify their experiences and opens up a wider world
of career opportunity.
The listing of companies that have hired SPSU graduates with a degree in Physics is
long: It includes Argonne Labs, BellSouth Mobility, Cape International Management,
Inc., Georgia Department of Agriculture, Institute of Paper Science and Technology,
Inc., Law Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc., NASA, National Science Foundation,
the Southern Company, and many others.
We would love to have you in our program.
