Physics (Minor)
A minor in physics exposes students to some of the key topics in either materials science or biophysics and provides an opportunity to participate in research and use advanced instrumentation. The experience and knowledge gained are particularly relevant because technological advances in all areas, from growing artificial skin to developing faster computers, are critically dependent on innovations in research. This minor is particularly appropriate for biology, chemistry, or biochemistry majors or pre-medical (veterinary or dental) students, especially those interested in the high-tech industry or medical research. The minor may also be attractive to anyone with an interest in science and/or problem solving and laboratory skills.
