Interdepartmental Contract Majors
The fundamental nature and quantitative aspects of physics make it a natural framework for constructing a wide range of interdisciplinary “interdepartmental contract majors.” Students interested in this option should discuss the possibilities with a member of the physics department.
Education Certification
The Physics B.A. or B.S. with a double major in Education allows Merrimack students to graduate with initial licensure to teach physics in grades 8-12. Students interested in a teaching career should connect with an advisor from the Winston School of Education and Social Policy as soon as possible.
