Faculty
We feel that the student-faculty relationship is the most important element of undergraduate education.
All our physics instructors hold doctorates or other advanced degrees in the field and all have had articles published in professional journals. All of them have undergraduate students working with them on collaborative research projects. Many of these student research projects are presented at professional conferences, and some get published in professional journals.
