The mission of the Department of Physics at Santa Clara University is to offer our students a science education in the true liberal arts tradition: a strong, challenging curriculum taught in small classes by committed faculty. 
Students find a home here in physics; it is a place where faculty are accessible and interested, and where groups of students regularly work and relax together.
NEWS!
We are in the process of updating and upgrading our curriculum. As we roll out revised and new courses over the next two academic years, our offerings and requirements will change. Note that the current information is subject to change as this process develops. Please ask any faculty member in physics for more information.
