Overview

Program Description To study physics is to join humanity's storied quest to discover and understand the most basic laws and principles governing our material world. To study physics at the University of Tennessee is to learn from great professors in small classes, contribute to research on campus and at major facilities (Oak Ridge National Laboratory and CERN, to name a couple), prepare for a variety of careers in and outside the sciences, and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded students. The University of Tennessee offers small classes for their majors, allowing professors to work with students through the course material (all courses are taught by faculty, not grad students). The flexibility of the curriculum allows students to tailor their education to fit their interests. It also has a strong and long-standing reputation for research, with many faculty at the cutting edge of their fields. UT has strong ties with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (one of the largest government labs in the country) with several faculty having joint UT-ORNL appointments and many others using the facilities there. This program's undergraduates are integrated into the research program and have worked on various research projects at the Spallation Neutron Source, the Large Hadron Collider, and labs across campus including the new Joint Institute for Advanced Materials. Neuroscience alumni work as physicists, software engineers, medical doctors, science writers, professors, high school teachers, astronomers, lawyers, and architects. The Society of Physics Students is consistently recognized as an outstanding chapter and enjoys a terrific mix of academic, outreach, and social pursuits. They also offer scholarships and employment options in the department. Its academic, research, and engagement opportunities make UT a great choice for any student interested in a physics education.
