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 begins with the introductory sequence, Physics 1 and 2 each with their respective lab, either calculus or algebra-based. Students then take any three additional physics courses, two of which must be upper division (PX 3000 or higher).
