Welcome to Physics at ACU!

If you're looking for a quality program that offers research experience and prepares you for graduate school, you're in the right place.

"The best part about our department is the professors, and the friendships we develop with them during our summer research projects. There's just something to be said for being able to learn from your professors, work and research next to them, and then also get to go to church with them on Sunday."    - Austin Basye
