\n\tThe Department of Physics, Atmospheric Science, and Geoscience at Jackson State University offers a broad variety of undergraduate courses, for physics majors and non-physics majors alike.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Department is working to achieve national ranking in the number of students enrolled as majors as well as in the number of graduates produced. Graduates of the program will excel in graduate study, research, and in the work force.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tGoals of the Department are as follows:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tTo prepare students for careers in physical research, medicine, engineering, meteorology research, professional meteorologist, and other professional areas including teaching of physics and physical sciences.\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tTo prepare students for graduate programs in physics, atmospheric sciences, engineering, and other applied sciences, graduate program in management, materials science, and for medical and dental schools.\n\t<\/li>\n
  3. \n\t\tTo develop understanding of basic scientific principles, concepts, and application in all students taking courses in the Department; to provide courses for students with other career interests which will increase their awareness of the environment and universe.\n\t<\/li>\n
  4. \n\t\tTo excel in research and development in the areas of meteorological observation, forecasting, modeling atomic and molecular physics, optics, materials science, nanotechnology, computational science, renewable energy, and earth and space science.\n\t<\/li>\n
  5. \n\t\tTo develop more collaborative research and development projects with other departments in Jackson State University, other institutions, state agencies, and non-profit and for profit organizations.\n\t<\/li>\n
  6. \n\t\tTo provide services to the community, the state, the nation, and the world in matters concerning science in general, including physics, astronomy, and atmospheric sciences.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
