Physics Minor
A physics minor offers students a foundation in the central areas of physics, such as Newtonian mechanics, electricity and magnetism, statistical physics and quantum mechanics. This minor complements many primary areas of study, particularly in the physical sciences, mathematics, engineering, computer programming and design-related fields. The physics minor also provides valuable education students need to enter professional schools, such as medicine and law.
