A minor in physics is intended to provide an in-depth study of physics to non-physics majors entering into a global and diverse workforce where a multidisciplinary science and engineering background is increasingly common. It will also serve those students who, through elective physics course studies, have developed a greater interest in the discipline, or who plan to enter graduate school in an area where a strong physics background is useful. The objective of the minor is to strengthen the studentβs knowledge of the fundamental physical concepts underlying all of modern science and engineering. The minor will help the student develop analytical problem-solving skills and reinforce their ability to engage in scientific thinking.
