During the summer, there is a Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) program that supports undergraduates to get a taste of research during the 10-weeks of the summer. The REU program is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation. Students should apply by February or March for the following summer.

A listing of the physics undergraduate courses is available online. There is a separate listing of the undergraduate courses offered during the present semester.

There is a Chapter of the Society of Physics Students (SPS), including both graduate and undergraduate students, and welcomes participation by students.
