The faculty of the department of physics are committed to providing a complete educational environment for undergraduate and graduate students that includes both cutting-edge research and outstanding teaching. The essential element of physics study is the development of analytical skills that serve our graduates throughout their entire professional career. WVU will promote these goals by relocating the Department of Physics to a state-of-the-art research facility.
