Physics Minor

The physics minor provides options for students who want a physics background in addition to their principal major.  While it is typically paired with science majors like chemistry, mathematics and computer science, it can also be used with any major to strengthen one’s problem-solving skills, a trait sought by employers, or to simply address one’s curiosity about how the universe works.
