We are committed to education and research in physics, the study of the fundamental
universal laws that govern the behavior of matter and energy, and the exploration
of the consequences and applications of those laws. Our research groups span a variety
of fields within physics, including Astrophysics, Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology,
Condensed Matter Physics, Lasers and Optics, Physics Education, Solar Physics, and
Space Sciences. NASA’s Montana Space Grant Consortium, hosted by the Physics Department, provides students with unique, hands-on research
opportunities as well as faculty research and education grants.
The MSU Department of Physics is committed to fostering an inclusive academic environment
that enables everyone to learn, educate, and participate in research in the physical
and astronomical sciences. For more information, see the website for the Committee on Inclusivity and Environment.
