We are a department of eight full-time faculty members and four 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.

We prepare students for a wide variety of technical careers. We offer three distinct major programs of study, a physics minor, and the opportunity for our majors to participate in the school's honors program. Program requirements and course descriptions can be found in our Course Bulletin.

Our Department is also home to the Fordham University Seismic Observatory. Visit the seismic data page to see graphs of recent seismic activity.
