Minor in Physics

The physics minor gives students a working familiarity of physical concepts and delves into the critical analysis tools commonly used in the study of physics. Students can combine a minor in physics with virtually any course of study, from other liberal arts disciplines to engineering.

Are you interested in this minor or another program in the Physics Department? Reach out to the Physics Department advisors ([email protected]) as soon as possible, so they can discuss the program and course of studies with you. It is crucial to do this early, because this minor has built- in prerequisites and many of the upper-level courses are offered once a year or once every two years. It is not possible to combine a major in physics, astrophysics or biophysics with a minor in any of these three.
