Beyond providing the highest quality instruction to undergraduate students, the Department of Physics also provides exciting avenues of research opportunities to help expand humankind's  understanding of the universe and the natural world around us.

Our undergraduate level courses cover all aspects of physics, providing  both science and non-science majors a thorough introduction to classical and nuclear physics concepts.

We have also in the past three years, dramatically increased the size of our gradute program and we now have 42 students working for their Ph.D. degree; an increase in numbers that is directly against the national trend.

Please take the time to thoroughly investigate all the sections of our website as it is packed with interesting and useful information about our efforts to make ODU  one of the premier physics instructional and research  facilities in the country.

Dr. Gail E. Dodge, Ph.D.
Chair, Department of Physics
