Physics Department
Millersville University has consistently ranked high among undergraduate institutions in the country in the number of enrolled physics majors. This enables the university to offer an exceptionally wide variety of upper level and special topics courses. Furthermore, all physics lectures, recitations and laboratories are taught by experienced faculty, all of whom hold Ph.D. degrees. Physics majors at Millersville are each assigned an advisor within the department who advises them on course work, research projects, graduate school selection and careers.
The Roddy Science Center houses physics classrooms, laboratories, a departmental library, machine shop equipment, and microcomputers. Majors have access to the departmental library and computers. The department's well-equipped laboratories include separate rooms for optics, electronics and applied physics. They support teaching laboratories for introductory, intermediate and advanced work. In the student project area we have a small machine shop with lathe, drill press, break, end mill, and several saws.
