The field of physics is broad and deep because everything is composed of matter and energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"default\">Principles of physics are at the heart of 21st-century industries too, such as electronics and computers, space, nuclear power, environment and climate, medical imaging, and treatment, to name a few.<br><br>Career opportunities include university or government lab work, research and development at manufacturers, utilities, tech compa\u00adnies, and government agencies involved in aerospace, national security, energy, defense, transportation, and communication.<br><br>Students at 51ÁÔÆæ can focus their coursework broadly on all topic areas within the subject area, or more specifically within the astronomy focus that includes coursework in astrophysics and gravitation. Faculty research areas include astronomy, gravitation and cosmology, biophysics and biomedical imaging, and condensed matter and surface physics for those interested in graduate studies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\"><nav aria-label=\"Sidebar\" class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list uwm-p-navigation-list--gold-border \"><div class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list--title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/students\/\">Students<\/a><\/div><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/students\/undergraduate\/\">Undergraduate<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/students\/graduate\/\">Graduate<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/physics\/students\/scholarships-awards\/\">Scholarships and Awards<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-gray uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card-grid uwm-l-grid uwm-l-grid--equal-y uwm-l-grid--2\">\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-u-mb-40 uwm-p-card--img uwm-p-card--gold\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2022\/08\/Undergraduates-Card_1500x400_322044038.jpg\" alt=\"students with mobile devices\" class=\"wp-image-6471\" \/><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Undergraduate<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">Learn more about our undergraduate programs, how to declare your major and access helpful resources to make the most of your learning experience at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/div><a class=\"uwm-p-card--link\" href=\"..\/students\/undergraduate\/\">View Undergraduate Information<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-u-mb-40 uwm-p-card--img uwm-p-card--gold\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/sociology\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2022\/08\/Graduates-Card_400x200_435386059.jpg\" alt=\"hands on open books\" class=\"wp-image-6470\" \/><div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\"><div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Graduate<\/div><div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">Explore our graduate programs, learn how to apply and access other helpful resources to for 51ÁÔÆæ graduate students.<\/div><a class=\"uwm-p-card--link\" href=\"..\/students\/graduate\/\">View Graduate Information<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"uwm-bg-white uwm-u-py-80\"><div class=\"uwm-l-container--base uwm-l-container--overflow-hidden\"><h2 class=\"uwm-u-text--center\">UW-Milwaukee Facts<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock uwm-p-gridblock--4-horizontal-border uwm-p-gridblock--4-horizontal\">\r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock--block uwm-p-block--stat uwm-p-block--default \">\r\n        <div class=\"uwm-p-block--content-wrap\"><span>Degrees Awarded<strong>4,900<\/strong>2024\u20132025<\/span><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock--block uwm-p-block--stat uwm-p-block--default \">\r\n    <div class=\"uwm-p-block--content-wrap\"><span>Students Who Are<strong>43%<\/strong>First-Generation Students<\/span><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock--block uwm-p-block--stat uwm-p-block--default \">\r\n    <div class=\"uwm-p-block--content-wrap\"><span>Undergraduate<strong>19,217<\/strong>Enrollment<\/span><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"uwm-p-gridblock--block uwm-p-block--stat uwm-p-block--default \">\r\n    <div class=\"uwm-p-block--content-wrap\"><span>Graduate<strong>3,887<\/strong>Enrollment<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1272,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/full-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-7433","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Physics &amp;
