The Mathematics and Physics program has been the best undergraduate experience I could have asked for. It has allowed me to determine which of the two subjects I wanted to study further, and has provided me with a deeper understanding of the interplay between math and physics. The caring and approachable professors, and the tight-knit student community, ensure that everyone in the program is able to do well. During my time at Carleton, I’ve been given the opportunity to work on particle physics experiments in affiliated labs around the world.
