Purdue University Physics Programs

Purdue University offers a dynamic learning environment where students not only acquire knowledge but also develop critical thinking along problem-solving skills. These courses provide a solid foundation in Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Waves and Oscillations, Quantum Mechanics, Thermal and Statistical Physics. Purdue Department of Physics and Astronomy is the largest in Indiana, and one of the largest in the country, both in size and in breadth of its course offerings and research programs.

While it is located at a Big 10 school with all of the opportunities of a major University, Purdue has the small-school advantage of special courses just for physics majors, with excellent student-teacher ratios. The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Purdue University is also unique in offering thorough training in electronics, computational physics, and several choices in advanced laboratories.
