This program is designed for students seeking either employment in the technical private sector or graduate study in computer-oriented science, engineering, and related fields. Majors complete a well-balanced curriculum in theoretical, experimental, and computational physics paralleling the regular physics major through the intermediate level courses and then specializing in computer physics. Why Study Physics - Computer Physics? Computer/computational physicists use high-performance computers to explore physical phenomena, from those involving the most fundamental objects such as quarks and black holes to those important in applications like weather prediction, medical technology, and environmental cleanup. This new approach to physics opens avenues to problems whose solution is otherwise impossible. This approach to science and engineering is widespread in research and development as computers and technology become an integral part of daily life. Many undergraduate programs only briefly introduce computational physics as part of the curriculum. The Computer Physics degree at Illinois State University, unique in the Midwest, is among only a handful in the world. Our curriculum provides students with a thorough background in the field, and makes computation an integral part of learning. Related Skills Strong math background Ability to use computers and derive data Strong written and research skills Ability to use theories in practice Strong analytical skills Logical thinker
