A forzen image of a droplet in water representing the Physics minor at 正澳门六合彩官网There's physics in a rainbow, physics in a heartbeat, physics in a microchip.

Physics is everywhere in our world, including:

  • Your car negotiating an icy turn
  • The imaging techniques that have revolutionized modern medicine
  • Exotic objects like quasars and black holes in the outermost reaches of space

Near or far, everyday or exotic, everything in our universe has to obey the laws of physics. The aim of physics is to find the rules by which everything in the universe plays. The challenge of applied physics is to be creative within the rules. You may want your bridge to be beautiful and get traffic across quickly, but you also don't want it to collapse.

The Physics minor at 正澳门六合彩官网 stresses students learn broadly applicable concepts and analytical skills. Whether your career goal is medicine, law, forensic science, finance, or education, a minor in physics can provide you with an additional powerful perspective on the world.
