Furman Physics - Unlocking the Mysteries of
the Universe
A major in physics provides a natural
cornerstone for a well-rounded education, since physics
is the fundamental natural science – linking science
and philosophy. Physics students work to understand
not only how the universe functions, but also the implications
that advances in the field have for mankind. An education
in physics means more than comprehending natural laws.
It means not only knowing the rules, but knowing why
they matter.
