Physics Minor
A minor in physics is designed for those who have a strong interest in physics but don’t want to make it a profession. It includes a set of classes that will give students a firm foundation in physics and the ability to pursue a more in-depth study in one of the physics areas of their choice. The minor in physics will develop analytical thinking and quantitative problem-solving skills that students can apply in any field. It will also give students the basic knowledge to make informed decisions, advise, instruct or administrate in our modern science- and technology-dominated world.
