The laws of nature. We can't change them, but we can understand them better to harness their power. At UIndy, your physics professors will steer you in a direction that fits your interests. From studying the science of motion to using radio telescopes to measure the Earth’s orbit, you will use theoretical knowledge from your classes to create your own projects.
The network of connections with my professors and mentors at the University of Indianapolis helped me cascade through college, earning internships at major companies in Indianapolis that ultimately led to my fulltime job in San Francisco with Salesforce.
In addition to creating your own research projects, you can dig deeper into a specific area of interest by choosing one of these concentrations:
Focus in electronics design and microprocessor software development
Focus in computer technology, including computer modeling, visualization, and simulation
Work with an advisor to develop a concentration unique to your personal learning goals
