Undergraduate Resources

We feel the following links will be of interest to undergraduates in the department:

• The Green Book (pdf) - a handbook for navigating undergraduate studies in the Homer L. Dodge Department of Physics and Astronomy.
• Society of Physics Students - SPS is a professional society for students of physics, and anyone interested in physics.
• Current Areas of Research - This link will take you to the page concerning current research by our faculty. Clicking on a particular area of interest on that page will take you to more links about that research and the faculty web pages.
• Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) - This NSF-REU program is aimed at students who are interested in Physics and/or Astronomy and who want to learn more about physics research.
• Undergraduate Scholarships - Undergraduate majors of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, and students thinking of physics, astrophysics, or engineering physics majors are encouraged to apply for the following scholarships. 
• The following reputable job sites are intended to serve those interested in pursuing careers in physics: APS and Compadre.
  
• Physics Employment Statistics - career resources published by the Statistical Research Center (SRC) of the American Institute of Physics.
• Tutor list (pdf)

COURSE OFFERINGS - The following links will provide information on courses offered in the department.

We have an awards ceremony each spring honoring our outstanding undergraduates in a variety of categories. Many of these include a monetary award, including the Fowler Prize whose winners are listed on a plaque which is placed in our lobby and which is reproduced in the previous link.

The Spring 2017 Undergraduate Studies committee members are: Kieran Mullen (Honors), Mike Strauss (Physics Advisor), Nathan Kaib (Astrophysics Advisor), and Brad Abbott (Engineering Physics Advisor)

Prospective students can search class schedules or find specific courses by searching ClassNav*. The link will open in a new window.
