Minor in Physics
Physics is a science that studies the natural phenomena at all scales, from that of the universe to el elementary particles. This minor exposes the students to some of the basic principles of physics and would easily complement any other discipline—from engineering to other sciences.
The Minor in Physics requires a total of 10 credits from the elective list, in addition to the prerequisite and core courses.
