The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Louisville offers
graduate and undergraduate degrees in Physics, Astronomy, and Atmospheric
Science through the College of Arts and Sciences. The faculty consists of 17
members, all holding the Ph. D. in their field. All are active in a variety of
research areas including interdisciplinary work with other departments. Research
facilities are housed in the Natural Science Building, Shumaker Research
Building, the Moore Observatory and a variety of other external sites. The
Department is proud of its active group of more than 30 graduate and over 115
undergraduate students, including its award-winning chapter of the Society of
Physics Students (SPS).

 

The department directory has contact information for individual faculty and
staff. Directions and information about visiting us are available. General
correspondence to the Department of Physics and Astronomy should be addressed

INFORMATION FOR VISITORS

 

The Department of Physics and Astronomy is located primarily in the Natural
Science Building at the University of Louisville ("A" on the map below),
although there are also researchers in the Shumaker Research Building and Ernst
Hall. Campus maps for the University of Louisville are also online. On the
linked map for Belknap Campus, the Natural Science Building is number 34 while
the Shumaker Research Building is number 4 and Ernst Hall is number 33.



 


DRIVING DIRECTIONS

 * For most visitors, the best strategy will be to take I-65 or Crittenden Drive
   to Eastern Parkway. For some, particularly visitors from the West End area of
   Louisville, the strategy will be to find 3rd Street and follow it to the
   University.
 * Specific directions, coming from the north on I-65, can be found here.
 * Specific directions, coming from the south on I-65, can be found here.


AIR TRAVEL

 * The 3-letter code (used by most airlines and online travel services) for the
   Louisville airport is SDF.
 * The airport is a five-minute drive from the University, and only a few
   minutes more from downtown Louisville.
 * If you are trying to drive from the airport to the department, you should
   follow the exit to I-264 WEST. Stay in the right-hand lane(s) which diverge
   off to Crittenden Drive north. Follow Crittenden Drive north approximately
   1.5 miles to Eastern Parkway (there is a Denny's on the corner). Turn left
   onto Eastern Parkway and follow the directions for those traveling from the
   south on I-65.

 

PLEASE HELP OUR PROGRAM GROW

 

The Department of Physics and Astronomy has a relatively new PhD program with
all major research areas represented. To help our program grow, especially, to
advance our research and educational missions, we seek support from alumni and
friends of the department. We welcome both small and big donations.
