Our Mission Heading link
The mission of the Department of Physics at UIC is to excel in teaching while pushing forward the frontiers of physics. We aim to provide our students with a first rate education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels with access to cutting-edge research experiences. Our faculty is engaged in a wide variety of world-class research activities from fundamental to applied, much of which is interdisciplinary in nature and reaches out to scholars in other fields, both inside and outside the university.
