Performing Research in PhysicsOne of the highlights of the Cornell physics program is the opportunity for undergraduates to become actively involved in world-leading, cutting-edge research. For students interested in getting involved in research they can look at the research opportunities for undergraduates posted by Cornell faculty below.Signing up for Research Opportunities
The physics department encourages all majors to become involved with research before they graduate. The usual way to become associated with a research group on campus is to make arrangements directly with one of the faculty members. Descriptions of physics faculty research interests can be found on the faculty pages.
After you graduate you will have a many choices. Here, you can find out what many physics students choose to do after commencement. About half of our physics majors pursue post-graduate education and half directly enter the workforce.
A Physics degree helps prepare you to do almost anything. An incredible range of careers benefit from the quantitative and analytical skills – the problem solving skills of physics, and from an understanding of the fundamentals behind science and technology that a physics degree provides.What have Cornell Physics graduates done?
