BSU Physics Department Named Top 22 for the Strongest Professional Master's Programs
Over the last seven years, the U.S. economy has been growing at an unprecedented rate. This growth is being driven, to a significant extent, by technological innovation with an especially strong demand for employees with scientific and technological skills. The contributions that scientists and engineers with bachelors or PhD degrees make in economic development has been reasonably well documented. More recently, there has been increased discussion about whether master's degree programs prepare their graduates to play a unique role in the economy. MORE...

Toying with science earns physics teachers national honors
Anyone who tells Jim and Nancy Watson that children can’t learn physics might get showered with toys. But to the Ball State science educators, such items as tops, rubber balls and yo-yos aren’t just toys. They’re laboratory equipment. The couple has been toying with science for more than three decades. Their goal is to bring basic physics principles to elementary school students. FULL STORY
