Physics
provides the most fundamental understanding of the natural world and of
technological achievements. The physics program at Kalamazoo College is
designed to integrate physics into the liberal arts curriculum, as well as
to provide the necessary skills to pursue graduate study in physics and
applied science, to enter engineering programs either through the 3/2
program or graduate study, to become a high school physics teacher, or to
enter into other activities which require technical and mathematical
skills. In addition to course work the program provides opportunities
for research projects on and off campus, and encourages participation in
the Kalamazoo College study abroad program.
