The Department of Physics has been an integral part of UT Dallas since the institution’s founding in 1969. The first graduates of a young UT Dallas earned master’s degrees in physics. But our roots go back even further – physics, relativity and space sciences formed the bedrock of research at UT Dallas’s precursor, the Graduate Research Center of the Southwest and its research arm, the Southwest Center for Advanced Studies.
The physics department offers degree plans at the undergraduate and graduate levels in areas of study relevant to many scientific and industry challenges. We enroll approximately 170 physics majors. Our faculty provides students with a quality education, directing internationally recognized programs in an intimate setting that allows ample student-faculty interaction.
We are enthusiastic about physics and proud of the quality of education, research and services provided. Contributing to the fund is an investment in education, enhanced programs and student opportunities, research and faculty grants, technology upgrades, leadership development and community outreach projects.
