COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & SCIENCE
Physics
Program Highlights
The physics program at Louisiana Tech provides students with fundamental knowledge of the laws of nature, from the sub-nanoscopic world of nuclear and quantum physics to the universe as a whole. Undergraduate students can pursue a double degree in physics and electrical engineering. Students have an excellent opportunity to gain research experience at the Center for Applied Physics Studies (CAPS) and at the Institute for Micromanufacturing. Students who chose to perform research with CAPS may focus on particle and nuclear physics, modeling, or biophysics. There are several ongoing research projects, each a collaborative effort involving top research laboratories at the national and international levels. Students who choose to perform research with the Institute for Micromanufacturing may focus on biophysics and nanobiotechnology. The program also offers medical physics emphasis for students with interest in the health field.
