Opportunities
Oswego offers top notch internships and co-op opportunities, most notably with NASA's CalTech Jet Propulsion Laboratory, as well as Global Laboratory research partnerships in Brazil, India and Taiwan. Our students gain plenty of hands-on research opportunities, with many publishing papers in peer-reviewed literature or giving talks and presenting posters at leading regional, national and international conferences. Many have won awards for these presentations.
Beyond the Classroom

Preparing for the Future
Students with a physics degree go on to work in engineering, finance, software engineering, the health industry and many other fields. A physics degree provides evidence to an employer that you have a critical, logical and systematic way of thinking that can tackle a wide range of problems.
