The Department of Physics at DePaul University provides programs in physics that serve a broad spectrum of student needs. Our undergraduate major offers a curriculum designed to provide the depth and breadth required for graduate study in physics, related and interdisciplinary areas, or for applied programs such as engineering, electronics, and optics.

A major factor in our success in preparing students for advanced degrees and good careers is the high level of cooperation and interaction that we maintain between faculty and students. Our classes are small, often laboratory orientated, therefore promote serious learning in a friendly atmosphere. Students are encouraged to participate in research with faculty and are frequently co-authors of articles in physics journals.

Our graduate program offers a terminal masters degree that is designed for industrial scientists or physics teachers interested in obtaining an advanced degree and for students preparing for doctoral work in physics or a related field.

Our full-time faculty of seven have research interests and expertise in the following areas: laser physics, non-linear optics, fiber optics, Fourier optics, computational physics, dynamical systems, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, magnetism, and the teaching of physics. Research in the department is currently supported by external funding from the National Science Foundation and the Research Corporation.

The department is currently home to the Space Science Center for Education and Outreach, which is funded by the Office of Space Science at NASA.
