We are excited that you are here to learn more about our department. We are a small and close-knit physics community focused on working with undergraduate students. We offer our students support to grow as scientists and leaders. Please reach out to Dr. Hank Yochum (hyochum@citadel.edu, 843-953-6953) if you have any questions about our department or would like to meet to get a tour of our labs.
We offer a BS in Physics as well as minors in Aerospace Science and Applied Physics. We offer courses in quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, electrodynamics, optics, electronics, sensors/microcontrollers, astrophysics, meteorology and aerodynamics. All of our students complete a year long research project.
