Oak Ridge Science Semester
Ready to put your physics skills to the test? Try a world class laboratory on for size during this unique research term experience for students interested in energy, engineering, geophysics, and more.
Rule a Laser Palace
Or at least research in one. You'll have access to high-level facilities including labs for lasers, computational physics, surface physics, plasma physics, and biophysics.
Get cooperative
We're dedicated to teaching undergraduates, but Lawrence offers cooperative master's programs in engineering and optics through partnerships with schools like Washington University and University of Rochester.
From summer internships to summer research to study abroad, funding for experiential learning is available from the time Lawrence students come in as first-years until the time they walk across the stage at Commencement.
Physics Outcomes
From engineering to education and analytics to astronomy, physics students follow their passions.
On Any Given Day...
...discover an array of opportunities that await you at Lawrence University.
Lawrence University, in conjunction with two other universities, received a $600,000 National Science Foundation grant to help in efforts to elevate undergraduate physics education.
