Physics - Minor

The Physics minor is designed for students who have a strong interest in physics, but don’t want to make it a profession.

This program includes a series 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 the modern science- and technology-dominated world.
