Students
The Physics Department at Mississippi College currently has one of the largest student populations in its long history. In the spring of 2012, we anticipate graduating our largest class in over 50 years!
Our students are involved in numerous academic and extracurricular activities. Below is a list of just a few examples of what students majoring in Physics or Engineering Physics do outside of classroom lecture periods:
- In the summer of 2011, one of our students took part in a six week long research project at NASA's Kennedy Space Center to study the electrical behavior of lightning flashes.
- During the summers of 2010 and 2011, one of our students took part in an internship program with the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, MS.
- Senior Engineering Physics students are currently working on design projects as part of the requirements for ESC 450 (Senior Design).
- Many students compete in varsity sports at Mississippi College: three students are on the Track team, one student is on the Women's Soccer Team, three students are on the Men's Soccer Team, three students are on the Football Team, and one student is on the Men's Tennis Team.
- Many students are involved in organizations such as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).
