The Physics Program at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga

We present an overview of the Physics Program at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga. We are part of the Department of Chemistry and Physics and offer a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics along with additional concentrations in Biophysics and Physics: STEM Education. We consist of four tenure-track faculty and two lecturers. In addition to serving roughly 30 physics majors, we also contribute a significant service course load to the rest of the University by offering a broad range of courses in physics, astronomy, and general science. We will discuss the unique features of the program, the challenges we face, and actions we are employing to increase the number of majors.
