[ Mission Statement ]

The Physics department provides rigorous physics instruction in a Christian environment to broaden non-majors’ scientific awareness and prepare majors for career success or further study in a variety of professional fields.  We expect our graduates to have a broad knowledge of the principles of physics and the analytical problem solving skills necessary to apply these principles to the understanding of natural phenomena and the creation of new knowledge.  Our students should also be proficient in the process of scientific investigation, including modern computational and laboratory methods, and be able to effectively and coherently communicate their thoughts in written and oral form.
