Welcome to the Department of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Toledo. We
are a growing, world-class department with strong programs in research and academics,
nationally and internationally recognized faculty members, ties to physics-related
industries, and a record of student success. We strive to provide students with access
to the cutting-edge research efforts of a larger institution, while still maintaining
the level of personal interaction with faculty found at smaller places.
Our webpages have more information about our undergraduate program, graduate program, research, Colloquium Schedule and public outreach. You can also explore these topics using the menu on the right.
