Welcome

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is dedicated to providing undergraduates with quality instruction and opportunities to participate in exciting research projects.

One of 13 departments within the College of Letters and Science, the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point offers coursework leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in physics. In addition to the traditional physics major designed to provide a firm basis for graduate study, the department offers physics majors which emphasize applied mechanics or applied electronics, as well as a major leading to secondary school teacher certification.
