Texas Physics Consortium

TPC

Texas Physics Consortium (TPC) is a group of Physics Departments that pool faculty expertise and institutional resources to provide access to quality upper-level undergraduate and graduate physics courses and a Joint B.S. Physics Degree to students across Texas. The TPC use of pooled resources provides their students with the wide range of upper level physics courses usually available at only large institutions while maintaining the intimate student-faculty interaction of a small department. The TPC is presently the third largest producer of B.S. Physics Graduates in Texas.
