Louisiana Tech University offers both undergraduate and graduate Physics programs. Faculty research interests include a broad range of topics in particle and nuclear physics, astrophysics, materials research, nano-scale self-assembly, computational physics, and biophysics. The Physics office is located in Carson-Taylor Hall, on the main campus of Louisiana Tech University. Faculty offices are in the Engineering Annex, Carson-Taylor Hall, Bogard Hall, and the Institute for Micromanufacturing.
The Physics program provides both undergraduate and graduate students with an excellent opportunity to gain research experience in the Center for Applied Physics Studies (CAPS) or in the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM).

The undergraduate curriculum, leading the Bachelor's of Science degree, is designed to give students a broad awareness of the fundamental principles of physics, as well as an introduction to the techniques of physics research; the primary aim of the program is to prepare the student for advanced study. Specialized courses, however, are available to train graduates for jobs in industry or governmental laboratories. Physics is also an excellent choice for the pre-medical student.
Louisiana Tech University offers a Master degree in Applied Physics. Two Ph.D. programs are available for physics students: The Engineering Physics Ph.D. track in the interdisciplinary engineering Ph.D. program, and the Computational Analysis and Modelling Ph.D. program (also known as CAM).
