Graduate Programs in Physics and Engineering Physics
Overview
Physics is the most fundamental science. It involves understanding the
basic principles by which all things in the universe operate.
Physics is therefore the foundation of all other scientific disciplines. It
is also the natural basis of all the technological disciplines such as
electronics, engineering, and computer science.
The Physics Department at The University of Tulsa focuses on small
research groups and close collaborations. Extensive, hands-on
mentoring is the norm. Interdisciplinary activities are encouraged
in the department. We maintain collaborations with National
Laboratories (NREL, ORNL, AFRL, and NRL), Research
Institutions (General Atomics) and Industry and are
currently funded through various federal agencies (NASA, DOE, and NSF).
