Why choose physics at Grand Valley State?
We have an active, enthusiastic, caring, and dedicated group of twelve permanent, five adjunct/visiting faculty members, and several instructors engaged in excellent teaching, scholarly activities, professional service, and physics outreach.
Our department continues to grow. We expect this growth to continue as we anticipate hiring more faculty in the years to come. Physics department has excellent teaching and laboratory facilities. All our classrooms are well equipped with video and audio systems. With smaller size upper division physics classes faculty provides individual attention to the needs of each student.
Besides teaching, our faculty engages in research and other scholarly activities with students. Research interests of our faculty includes acoustics, astronomy, atomic physics, condensed matter physics, physics education, and medical physics. To promote science education in the state of Michigan and especially to create an interest in physics among school students our department participates in a variety of physics outreach activities throughout the year.
