Alumni News:

• John G. Baker, class of 1993, received NASA Goddard's 2008 Lindsay Award for his research on black holes.
• A paper co-authored by Gerald Good, class of 1997, was featured in Physical Review Focus this July.
• Mitchell Soderberg, class of 2000, had a photo appear in September 2008's Scientific American, in connection with his research at Fermilab.

How can laser light be used to trap a single atom? Can we program a computer to simulate the complicated flow of viscous fluids? How can sound waves help us see inside the human body? These are some of the questions currently under study by physics students at Truman State University.

The Physics Department offers a Bachelor of Science in Physics, a Bachelor of Arts in Physics, a Physics Minor, and Pre-engineering program. Each of these programs prepare students for success in a highly technological world.
