The Physics Minor serves students majoring in other areas who desire a deeper understanding of Physics. In particular, students who minor in Physics are engaged in an in-depth introduction to many of the most important physical concepts that shape our world today, including relativity theory and quantum mechanics. Once considered far removed from our everyday world, these ideas impact our lives daily and at every level, from using our GPS phone to understanding the nature of reality.
