The Physics minor provides students with a chance to develop a basis in the fundamentals of Physics and apply physics alongside their major program. This prepares them for academic, industrial or governmental employment, as well as advanced study. It complements the background of students intending to pursue graduate degrees, as well as students with a goal of attending professional programs following the bachelor’s degree.
