Department of Physics, Astrophysics, Dual-Degree Engineering, and Pre-Engineering

Explore our course array in physics, engineering, astronomy, and astrophysics within a supportive learning environment.

We provide adaptable course plans in physics and engineering for numerous career specializations:

• Physics Option I (prep for MS/PhD grad studies or industrial research)
• Physics Option II (more flexibility, fewer upper-level physics requirements)
• Astrophysics Certificate option can be coupled with any other program
• Pre-Engineering (complete first 2 yr of coursework at UWRF, transfer to specific Eng school)
• Engineering (Physics, or Chemistry, or Agricultural/Environmental Technology Options, too)
• Physics/Engineering Dual Degree program (UWRF Physics + Engineering University degrees)
• Applied Physics for Industry and Engineering (APIE) with specialized interdisciplinary certificates (biology, entrepreneurship, mechanics, or opto-electronics)
• Physics and General Science Education for future grade 4-12 teachers

Active learning with student research, excellent teaching, individualized advising, and public outreach are the core of our mission.
