Administered by the Physics Department, the Experimental Physics major emphasis prepares students to independently design experiments to test physical models and communicate the results of experimentation in a variety of authentic forms in the discipline, including written articles, formal oral presentations, and informal dialogues. Students will demonstrate technical labs skills related to data collection, analysis, and instrument interfacing.
