Welcome
Our campus is located in Moscow in the beautiful rolling hills of northwestern Idaho, an area of spectacular natural beauty with ready access to snow-covered mountains and whitewater rivers. As a small, high-quality department we offer a personalized physics educational experience for all our students. Feel welcome to browse our website and learn about our department. We hope prospective students will join us in the exciting educational and research opportunities to be found at the University of Idaho. We hope your visit is enjoyable, as well as educational.

Our faculty are internationally recognized for their outstanding research in physics. Our graduate students constitute an integral part of that research and many of our undergraduate students are active participatants as well. We have strong research programs in nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, nanophysics, astonomy and computational bio-physics. We are a friendly and vigorous faculty who enjoy and take personal pride in involving students in the excitement and challenges at the forefront of research. We have a first-rate support staff that assists in all educational, research, and outreach activities.
Interested in getting to know us better? Are you a prospective student?
