As a physics major at Manhattan College, you will have many experiential opportunities to choose from. Research is both required and supported, whether you choose to work in collaboration with a faculty member on campus or pursue an opportunity to take part in research with an outside organization. Faculty-student collaborations often lead to projects that are funded by government agencies like the National Science Foundation.
