Physics is the scientific study of how and why the natural world works.  From the tiniest quark to the entire universe, physics uses a few fundamental principles to explain matter, energy, and their remarkable interactions. 

At Austin College, we believe that students learn physics best by DOING physics.  In courses for physics majors and non-scientists alike, students are active participants in their learning.  Students continually explore, question, collect data, analyze, and synthesize their results – and have fun in the process!   We strive to provide meaningful opportunities for students to develop as scientists through innovative course offerings, hands-on laboratory experiments, and stimulating research projects with faculty.
