When you join the Juniata physics program, you become part of a strong community featuring
the Society of Physics Students Club, the Women in Physics Club, the Juniata Stargazers
Club, and access to a lounge specifically for physics and engineering students.
Create interdisciplinary programs combining physics with mathematics, computer science,
biology, chemistry, world languages, and more. You can also combine your study of
physics with exceptional engineering courses, and participate in a 3+2 dual degree
program with a partner institution to earn a Bachelor's degree in engineering in addition
to your Juniata degree.

Three Juniata College Students Awarded Scholarships by American Institute of Physics
“Juniata was the only college nationally to have three students recognized,” said James Borgardt, William W. Woolford Professor of Physics and chair of the Physics and Engineering Physics department. “This is a testament to the quality of our students as well as the mentorship and guidance they receive from our committed and talented faculty.” Read More Here →

Study Abroad
Studying abroad can provide you with an international perspective on the field of physics, but the major advantage has less to do with the courses specifically in the POE, and more to do with the life-broadening experience. Physics faculty lead short-term study abroad experiences to Chile and to Central Europe, and students have studied for a semester or a full year in New Zealand, England, Ireland, Ecuador, and the Czech Republic.
