The Physics program at Louisiana Tech University equips students with a deep understanding of the fundamental laws that govern the universe, from the tiniest particles in quantum mechanics to the largest cosmic structures. Physics majors don’t just study science — they do science.
Interested in healthcare? Choose the Medical Physics emphasis to prepare for careers in medical physics, medical imaging, radiation therapy, or advanced graduate programs in health physics or medical school. Complete your B.S. courses required for this emphasis in medical physics and receive a certificate in medical physics in addition to the B.S. in Physics.
With opportunities to pursue a double-degree in Physics and Engineering, in particular (but not limited to) Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, you will gain a powerful combination of theoretical insight and practical engineering skills that sets you apart in the job market or better prepares you for a graduate program in Engineering. Louisiana Tech’s cutting-edge research centers — the Center for Applied Physics Studies (CAPS) and the Institute for Micromanufacturing — offer hands-on research experience in particle and nuclear physics, materials science, biophysics, and nanobiotechnology ranging accross experiment, theory, and simulation. You will work alongside faculty on internationally collaborative projects, contributing to discoveries that span medicine, energy, materials, and technology.
This is more than a degree; it’s your gateway to solving the biggest scientific and engineering challenges of our time.
