Minor in Physics

The Physics minor provides a strong foundation in the fundamental principles that govern matter, energy and motion. Through a combination of theoretical study and laboratory experience, students develop analytical and problem-solving skills while exploring modern concepts in physics. This minor complements a wide range of STEM majors by strengthening quantitative reasoning and preparing students for advanced technical and scientific applications.

Some majors may not be eligible to pair with this minor. See the Minor Restrictions list for details.
