Physics Minor
A Physics minor provides a solid foundation in physics to non-physics majors who may wish to apply the analytical skills and principles of physics to their own field of study. The Physics minor may be of interest to students wishing to enhance their understanding of physical phenomena, and may be particularly useful for majors such as Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, and Mathematics.
