Physics Minor

 

Degree Requirements (22 credits)

Physics is the most fundamental of the Natural Sciences. A strong background in physics will strengthen a student’s understanding and appreciation of mathematics and the other Natural Sciences.  The physics minor will provide students with a strong background in classical and modern physics at both the macro and micro-scale.  The physics minor seeks to provide students with the physics background that would enable them to blend their current major with physics at the graduate level, or pursue a physics graduate degree with minimal additional course work.
