At Wright State University, we strive to provide a friendly yet challenging learning and research environment so that our students are prepared to either take on employment or further their studies. As an undergraduate student, you have a wide variety of programs from straight physics to concentrations in computation and education. As a graduate student, you can choose between a Master's in Physics or a Master's of Science in Teaching or an interdisciplinary PhD.

Our faculty not only teach but carry out pioneering research in a wide variety of areas such as atmospheric science, biophysics, geophysics, materials science, and nanotechnology. There are 15 full-time and four research faculty. This includes: an American Geophysical Union fellow, an NSF CAREER recipient, an Ohio Board of Regents Teaching fellow, and five female faculty. Our programs are associated with the Semiconductor Research Center at WSU and the department houses the EXCEL center in science education.

  • University of Dayton, leading a partnership with The Ohio State University, Wright State University, and Miami University were recommended for $23,448,718 in funding for a proposal to develop the Ohio Academic Research Cluster for Layered Sensing and enable the compilation of world-renowned layered sensing intellectual capital in Ohio to establish Ohio as the undisputed academic leader in layered sensing. Layered sensing is defined as taking a multitude of diverse and distinct sensor platforms and fusing their data into one synergistic view of the environment being sensed. Applications of interest, according to the proposal, include military, security, safety, medical, triage, law enforcement, geographic information services, environmental, and agricultural markets. Wright State University, University of Dayton, and The Ohio State University are each to receive one endowed Research Scholar position.
