Fordham University Physics Department
Dr. Quamrul Haider, PhD A Message From the Chair
We are a department of eight full-time faculty members and two adjuncts dedicated to the education and growth of our students. Class sizes are small, and we know each of our students well. As an undergraduate department, we strive to share our interest and excitement in physics and engineering physics with them. Our faculty are involved in research in Applied Optics, Condensed Matter Physics, Medical Physics, Nuclear Physics, Polymer Physics, and Seismology. Believing in the value of research for undergraduates, we encourage our students to actively participate in labs and research groups.
Our Department is also home to the Fordham University Seismic Observatory. To see recent seismic activity data, click here.
Curricula
The physics department prepares students for a wide variety of technical careers. We offer three distinct programs of study and one minor. Program requirements and course descriptions can be found in our Course Bulletin.
Physics Major
The Physics major is intended primarily for students interested in continuing with graduate study in physics, this major builds on a strong physics base with advanced courses to prepare students for admission to top graduate schools.
Engineering Physics Major
This major gives students a strong physics base plus the freedom to pursue their interests in a broad range of applied subjects. The department offers applied courses in mechanics, materials, lasers, and medical physics which prepare students for advanced study or a career in these areas. In addition, students can combine the major with courses from other departments to pursue careers in physics education, business, pre-architecture, pre-med, and other fields.
3-2 and 4-2 Engineering Program
In this program students complete the requirements for a Bachelors Degree in Physics at Fordham followed by a Bachelors or Masters Degree in Engineering at either Columbia University or Case Western Reserve University. More information on the 3-2 program can be found here.
