Physics at Black Hills State University

General Information

The physics program at Black Hills State University is operated by the Department of Science in the College of Arts and Sciences. We provide lower division courses to satisfy requirements for general education and major programs in the physical sciences and mathematics. We also provide a small number of upper division courses that can be applied to a minor in physics or a major in composite physical science. Community service is performed primarily through public astronomical viewing events using Black Hills State University's 12-inch Meade LX200 telescope. We are actively engaged in research and encourage student involvement in research projects.
