Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide excellent
undergraduate instruction in physics and
astronomy. In lower division courses, faculty
use lecture demonstrations, cooperative
learning methods, hands-on activities, and
field trips to develop a broad working
knowledge of physics. In upper division
courses, in addition to the above methods,
students learn through cooperative projects,
research with faculty, and hands-on
instrumentation and computation projects.
About the Department of Physics and Astronomy
The MSUM Physics and Astronomy program is a
student-centered program. We provide students with
educational opportunities in the classroom and
outside it in order to improve their preparation for
a career using physics.
We have facilities including a nanotechnology and
robotics lab, a student-built NMR machine, and the
Paul P. Feder observatory.
Our faculty have high quality
research programs in
space physics, robotics, extragalactic, galactic,
and solar system astrophysics, and physics
education. Our undergraduate students participate in
these research programs and gain experience to
prepare them for careers in physics and related
fields.
