Physics Minor

*Not a baccalaureate degree program

Physics is the fundamental science underlying the investigation of all natural phenomena. Its elegant experiments and fundamental theories have provided much of the advancements in present-day science and technology. From the smallest sub-atomic particles to the vastness of cosmic expansion, and at the intermediate scales of our lives, in such areas as solid-state electronics, superconductivity, biological function, and geologic events - physics profoundly impacts our understanding of nature and our ability to harness its secrets for the progress of human kind.

The Minor in Physics provides a good secondary area of concentration for all students in science and engineering, as well as students in such areas as philosophy, history, or the arts.
