Student Perspective
“We were lucky enough to get a Wisconsin Space Grant, and that allowed us to get materials for our microscope and continue our research. Part of that was that I and my coworker were able to give an oral presentation at the Wisconsin Space Conference.”

Rule a Laser Palace
Or at least research in one. You'll have access to high-level facilities including labs for lasers, computational physics, surface physics, plasma physics, and biophysics.

Get cooperative
We're dedicated to teaching undergraduates, but Lawrence offers cooperative master's programs in engineering and optics through partnerships with schools like Washington University and University of Rochester.
