Physics

It all started with the big bang

Physics is the study of matter and energy, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. Developments in basic physics drive technology, and technology helps physicists discover nature’s secrets.

As a physics major at IU Indianapolis, you’ll be a part of small classes and an interactive learning environment with challenging material and lab work. We’re not a big department, so you’ll get personal attention as you join a tight-knit group of students and faculty.

Our students support each other through peer-led mentoring, providing a unique environment where you become a leader by teaching others. Physics club, volunteer programs, and intramural sports are just a few of the opportunities for you to get involved outside of the classroom.

We’re great scientists and we’re innovative teachers. As a department, and a university, we’ve developed teaching methods that engage and encourage students—and are used at universities throughout the United States. Simply put, we care about our students and want them to succeed.
