The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers undergraduate degree programs in Physics and in Applied Physics, with a variety of focuses on different skill sets and areas of physics. We offer introductory physics course sequences that are prerequisites for many other majors at UC Irvine, as well as a broad selection of general education courses in subjects including astronomy and cosmology, the physics of sports, the physics of music, and energy and the environment. Students can get involved in world class research with our faculty. We also have an active community with events and social groups where you can get involved.
