Minor in Space Physics
The Space Physics minor explores the fundamental physical processes that govern space environments, including planetary systems, solar activity and electromagnetic interactions in space. Students build a strong foundation in classical and modern physics while applying these principles to phenomena such as space weather, plasma behavior and astrophysical systems.
Some majors may not be eligible to pair with this minor. See the Minor Restrictions list for details.
