What noteworthy achievements have been attained by the Department of Physics?
The Department of Physics has been awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) grants under the Undergraduate Research Participation (URP) program to permit a quality experience for students between their junior and senior year. In addition, we have maintained a similar experience at UD through an endowed student grant program and other internal funding. The UD Chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS) has frequently received commendation from the national office as an “Outstanding SPS Chapter.” UD physics majors consistently win scholarships and fellowships in national competition, most notably the Society of Physics Students (SPS) scholarships and the National Science Foundation (NSF) fellowships.
