Want to know the bottom line?

The Physics Major at UCI combines the best of TOP RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES with SMALL LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES.
At UCI Irvine, Physics Majors have their own small classes (with a Faculty member teaching the course) right from the beginning of the introductory sequence. This means that you get an introductory physics course for physics majors, not the generic course for engineers. This is the type of experience you might have at a small liberal arts college.

Because we are a top rate Research University, most of our undergraduates are able to participate in research as part of their undergraduate career.   Students can even be co-authors on papers in the top research journals. This is only common at a major research university.
