Physics
The Department of Physics at the University of West Florida is committed to providing quality education in physics and offers a B.S. degree in physics with two specialization options, physics and engineering physics.
Physics Programs
There are four full-time faculty members who contribute to research programs in Organic Thin Film Preparation & Characterization, Nonlinear Optics and Phase Conjugation, Theoretical Quantum Optics, and Computational Condensed Matter Physics.
Matching Donation
One endowment. Endless opportunities.
HMCSE students need your support. Thanks to a generous matching gift from Drs. Muhammad and Fatema Rashid, all gifts made to the STEM scholarship for females and first-generation students by this Fall will be matched up to 50,000 dollars to create a $100K endowment that will benefit STEM students for years to come.
At A Glance: Faculty Commitment
The physics classes are generally small and are taught by highly-qualified faculty members rather than graduate students. Professors are readily available and willing to interact with students on a personal level. All faculty members usually have extended office hours. Students are encouraged to participate in various fields of research and work side-by-side with faculty.
