Why Physics at LTU?

• Career Preparation - The programs we offer gives you excellent preparation for a rewarding professional career in industry or for graduate school in physics or other applied technologies.
• Access to Excellent Graduate Schools - Our students attend highly regarded graduate programs. Most people who enter graduate schools at the large major Universities do not come from these universities but come from smaller colleges and universities, like ours, which give their students personal attention.
• Internships - Be able to participate in internships at the National Laboratories and Observatories - our students have participated in internships at well known national laboratories like Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, Fermilab, the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the Very Large Array of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory.
• Research Projects - Each student has the opportunity to choose a field of research to work on for a senior project. Research fields include Lasers, Holography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance imaging, Super-Conductivity, Chemical Physics, Spectrometry, Nuclear Radiation and X-ray Diffraction.
• Computerized Laboratories equipped with sensor-interfaced computers as well as to use computer technology throughout the curriculum.
• Personal Success - Faculty and all the fellow students are committed to your success through personal interaction in small friendly classes.
