The Department of Physics & Astronomy works to uphold the shared goals and values of
Georgia State University as they are outlined in our Strategic Plan. These include excellence in
research and innovation, a strong commitment to student success, a focus on “college to
career” direct preparation, and supporting the belonging of all community members. Georgia
State University has one of the most diverse student bodies of any university in the country, and
the Department of Physics and Astronomy graduates more Black students with B.S. degrees in
Physics than any other non-HBCU institution nationwide [AIP TEAM-UP]. We are proud of our
student successes and we work hard to ensure that all students, staff, and faculty receive the
support they need to succeed.
