Phys 459 (Special Topics and/or undergraduate research topics)

Students can get credit for special topics working with a faculty member. And - students can get started sophomore or junior year! It isn't necessary to wait until senior year!

Most of the professors have web pages that list their publications and research interests. However, It can be hard for and undergraduate students to get a sense of what exactly he or she might actually do and what sorts of activities would be involved. For getting more concrete ideas of what faculty might suggest as initial activities for undergraduate students interested in participating in their research programs, see the topics listed in the Phys 498/499.

Also, check out the URAP opportunities when they get posted in the college! While those are not for academic credit, they do come with a little bit of stipend attached.

Best wishes,
