Physics, Minor

Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences, and undergraduate training in physics provides a solid grounding in quantitative problem solving, analytical reasoning, and mathematical modeling. Fundamental knowledge of physics is relevant to a wide variety of majors and careers. A minor in physics is designed for students who have an interest in the fundamental laws of nature, the basic properties of matter, and the nature of space and time. The physics minor consists of the introductory sequence General Physics I, II, and III, each with their respective lab. Although not recommended, it is possible to substitute Structure of Physics I and II for General Physics I and II. Students then take any two additional advanced physics courses.
