Physics (Secondary Major)

The Physics major gives students a solid understanding of the most fundamental laws of nature – from the microscopic world of subatomic particles to the scale of the whole Universe. As an exact natural science, physics is an invaluable venue to understand the method of scientific investigation, its powers and limitations. Our students develop strong analytical and quantitative skills and the ability to apply a variety of mathematical models to natural phenomena. The laboratory component of the curriculum trains them to perform real-world observations, collect and analyze data, and compare experimental results with theoretical predictions.

Students completing the major can continue their education or pursue a career not only in physics, but also in chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering, economics and finance.
