Northern Michigan University, located in Marquette, MI, is a dynamic four-year,
public, comprehensive university. Explore our website and see all that NMU has
to offer.
HOME - NMU PHYSICS
PHYSICS DEPARTMENT
Physics is the study of physical phenomena in our universe. It seeks to explain
and describe physical interactions using the concepts of force and energy. At
NMU, students are steeped in challenging coursework and top-notch training,
developing comprehensive knowledge of the sciences along with the technology and
research skills needed to succeed in the field or in graduate school.
EXPERIENCE LEARNING
Our professors work closely with each student to shape the best curriculum to
meet your specific career goals. You’ll have the benefit of small class sizes
and personal attention and the chance to join faculty in research projects on
campus, such as analyzing the internal structure of neutrons or detecting
radionuclides in local river beds. State-of-the-art equipment and technology,
two observatories and various research labs are at your disposal. You might even
present at the Argonne National Laboratory research symposium, which our
students attend each year.
CAREER EXCELLENCE
Our graduates have gone on to careers as teachers (much in demand), physicists,
bio-, medical-, astroand geo-physicists, and oceanographers, or continued their
studies to become a physician, lawyer or engineer. The field offers excellent
earning potential. Learn more

FACULTY RECEIVE AWARDS
Dr. William Tireman, physics professor, was among the group of Northern Michigan
University faculty members who were recognized at the annual Celebration of
Excellence in Teaching and Scholarship.
IMAGE
JOIN THE PHYSICS CLUB
The Physics Club is a student organization for anyone who thinks physics is
"phun." Meetings are held every two weeks. The year is filled with activities,
beginning with the display of a 111-foot pendulum in the Superior Dome during
mobile device distribution. A courageous few may even be able to swing on the
pendulum.

MUSIC HONORS DAVE LUCAS AT CONCERT
The NMU Music Department made a special presentation at its holiday concert to
honor the memory of former physics department head Dave Lucas, who passed away
in December 2015.
IMAGE
WHAT YOU'LL DO AT NMU
Join the Physics Club and plan amazing presentations for campus and area
elementary classrooms. Help fuel the competition and learning at the annual
Science Olympiad for middle and high school students at NMU’s Seaborg Center,
one of the finest science facilities in the Midwest (where you’ll have most of
your classes). Serve as a mentor to a fellow student struggling with
introductory or advanced physics courses. Hang out with like-minded peers in the
physics majors’ office. Maybe you’ll help gather materials for a book about
testing the accuracy of the theory of relativity. Who knows, you could scale the
Mackinac Bridge or solve the legendary mystery of the Paulding Light. Whatever
you do, you will be immersed in interactive learning at NMU. You’ll also have
the personal attention and support of talented, caring teachers every step of
the way.
