The ACU physics department has approximately 50 majors.  Although we have more graduates per year than 2/3 of the nation’s physics programs, our department is still small enough to feel closely connected.  Through worshipping in devotionals, working in study groups, and relaxing in their spare time (ping-pong is a favorite departmental pasttime), new students quickly form lasting friendships that are valued long after physics equations have been forgotten.

There are many aspects to being a physics major at ACU. The Christian environment allows students to express their faith freely, and the post-graduate focus encourages students to do research, attend conferences, and work toward continuing their education even after they leave ACU.
