Bachelor [Physics] From University of Wisconsin

As a science department, we regard our mission to include:

• Teaching students systematic methods for evaluating evidence and information by helping them build and test physical hypotheses and theories; and
• Fostering students' critical thinking skills, such as drawing conclusions, inferring relationships, solving problems and making predictions about the natural world.

As a department of physics we are committed to providing:

• A rigorous and effective curriculum for physics majors and minors, with depth of study for those students who desire to pursue a career in, or further study of, physics, astronomy, engineering, technology or science education;
• Effective and engaging courses for students who choose to take physics or astronomy courses either as part of the breadth of a liberal arts education or whose majors or career goals require them;
• Educational experiences in physics and astronomy through public outreach, with emphasis on the UW - Whitewater service area; and
• Opportunities for students and faculty to engage in research.
