Department of Physics

Our small department and hands-on research opportunities give our students individualized, in-depth preparation for graduate school and careers in science.  Students also gain all the benefits of a liberal arts education, and Cornell's flexible One-Course-At-A-Time schedule adds even more possibilities.

Our students have double-majored in everything from music to computer science. They have also found time to explore a wide range of leadership roles, travel abroad, perform block-long internships, and more.
