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

 

Welcome to the Department of Physics & Astronomy

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.
