If you have general questions about the physics program at the University of Michigan, please feel free to contact us. You can make an appointment to talk with an advisor by using the online advising calendar, by calling Student Services at (734) 764-5539 or sending an email.

Specific questions regarding a physics degree program should be answered during a one-on-one meeting with a department concentration advisor. An advisor must approve your concentration plan before it can be filed. You may use the online advising calendar to make an advising appointment. Once authenticated, you will be able to choose from all available appointment times.

The undergraduate physics concentration advisors for the 2008-2009 academic year are:

Jim Liu, Greg Tarle, Jean Krisch and Finn Larsen

If you wish to speak to one of your prospective peers, the members of the Society of Physics Students* are always eager to talk about their experiences.

 
For specific physics course information, please view the LSA Bulletin*, the LSA Course Guide or see the Physics Department course listings.

A Sequence of Studies: Start Early

Many of the required studies leading to a career in physics are sequential. If you are contemplating a career in physics, you should try to reach a decision as early as possible in order to take full advantage of early advising and education.
