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.
