Physics Minor

Overview

The Physics minor provides students with a solid foundation in fundamental physics principles and techniques. The program includes coursework in mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and quantum physics, complemented by hands-on laboratory experiences. The minor is designed to enhance students' analytical and problem-solving skills, making it a valuable addition to various major fields of study, such as mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Graduates with a physics minor are well-prepared for careers in science, technology, and other related fields, as well as for further academic pursuits. Note: The required math courses may be taken as prerequisites or corequisites with the physics requirements. See course descriptions below.
