Mathematics and Physics Department
The Department of Mathematics and Physics at Grambling State University has produced
physics and mathematics graduates for many years who are currently working across
the United States in a variety of occupations. We believe the small faculty to student
ratio provided to our majors in the classroom and laboratory enhances their understanding
of the fundamental concepts of physics. The department is proud of its record of sending
its alumni on to graduate school, many of whom have gone on to received Ph.D.s in
Mathematics, Physics, or materials science and engineering. Other alumni are on track
to completing their Ph.D. requirements. Also, the GSU Department of Mathematics and
Physics has a very high job placement.
A diversity of careers exists for physicists and mathematicians. Physicists and mathematicians
with baccalaureates, masters, and with doctorates work in a rich variety of jobs,
mostly in industry, and pursue a diverse range of technical and nontechnical careers.
Mathematics and physics majors work as physicists, mathematicians, technicians, engineers,
managers, computer specialists, technical coordinators, designers, trainers, financial
analysts, supervisors, researchers, entrepreneurs, presidents, owners, consultants,
educators, and many more.
