Department of Physics

Discover the design. Translate the mystery.

Study the universe from the subatomic to the cosmic with the conviction that faith doesn’t limit that pursuit. It fuels it.

Ethos

Where Faith and Physics Unite.

At Union, we believe the design and mystery of the physical universe inspire both scientific discovery and deeper faith. From the subatomic to the cosmic, the patterns, laws, and structures physicists uncover reveal a creation that is orderly, fascinating, and worthy of careful study.

Our Department of Physics challenges students through rigorous coursework, undergraduate research, and close faculty mentorship. Here, faith doesn't limit scientific inquiry. It inspires the curiosity, discipline, and wonder that drive it.
