Physics is crucial to understanding the world around us, the world inside us, and the universe beyond us. Advances in technology are providing above-average job growth in areas that require strong proficiency in science and mathematics, making the choice of a degree in physics and astronomy a wise one.

• Gifts supporting the Physics and Astronomy Annual Fund help provide department-specific resources. These include expanding the department’s ability to support a wide range of experiential learning opportunities, awards for student travel to professional conferences, internships, departmental events and programs, funding for student and faculty research, and more.
• Contributions to the Physics and Astronomy Scholarship Fund directly impact students by helping to make education accessible – keeping the department competitive with peers and ensuring that students have the financial support they need to complete their educational programs.
• The Wayne State Planetarium is an amazing resource for our students and local community. Support the Planetarium Fund today.
