Physics, the most fundamental science, tries to explain how the physical universe behaves. Undergraduate physics study provides an ideal background for personal growth and for a broad spectrum of rewarding careers, e.g., scientific research, academic, business, medicine, law, education, or computer science. Undergraduate physics majors can take courses on sub-atomic particles, the origins of the universe, super-cooled superconductivity, and superheated plasmas. Physics majors are exposed to faculty performing world class research in several areas and many undergraduates research physics questions throughout the year. Several features of the AU physics program make it ideal for an undergraduate physics education. Physics majors are the science team leaders in a national effort to send student-built satellites to space. Auburn University has a very active chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) which provides support and opportunities for majors; in years past, the SPS has organized the building of a vehicle for the national Moon Buggy competition. Also, Auburn University has a very active Honors Program which provides smaller and more challenging classes.
