UToledo's world-class Department of Physics and Astronomy

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, NSF-REU program, people/contact info, activities & public outreach, and colloquium schedule. You can also explore these topics using the menu on the right.
