Physics is the study of matter and energy and the fundamental forces of nature that govern the interactions between particles. Physicists
study a wide range of physical phenomena, from quarks to black holes, from individual atoms to the many-body systems of superconductors.
It is the foundation of all the physical sciences. The knowledge and problem-solving skills acquired by physics graduates enable them to
pursue careers in a wide range of scientific and professional disciplines.
The Department of Physics at North Carolina A&T State University is located in Greensboro, North Carolina. The department is composed of seven full-time faculty and 3 adjunct faculty. Currently there are thirty-seven undergraduate students and six graduate students in the department. Students are active on campus and in the community through involvement with the Society of Physics Students.
The small size of the department is a benefit for the students because it allows for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.
