Off-Campus Study
Off campus studies, either in summer programs at a number of
industrial or university laboratories or as part of the Oak Ridge
Science Semester program, offer students the opportunity to research
in experimental or theoretical physics. In addition to providing
students with research experience, these programs also help students
broaden their contact with eminent physicists around the country.
Independent Study
Independent study in physics offers students the opportunity
to receive college credit for work on individual projects. These
projects may be research collaborations with faculty or problems
of particular interest to the student. Outside support is available
for some areas of study. For example, the NASA Wisconsin Space
Grant Consortium Scholarship Program provides support for qualified
students taking part in aerospace studies.
Physics FUN Force
Students of physics are encouraged to be active in the local,
regional and national Society of Physics Students organization.
One of the Society's local projects has been the creation of
the Physics
FUN Force, a group of students that visits area elementary
schools to do exciting physics activities and investigations
with children.
