A physics minor is an excellent complement to multiple degrees. Engineering majors only need a few more courses to complete a minor in physics. Mathematics majors can apply their skills in calculus, complex analysis, and linear algebra to the physical world. Biomechanics majors can gain deeper insight into complex modeling of motion and be better prepared for graduate education in biomechanical engineering. Chemistry majors can gain a better understanding of the modern and quantum physics that underlie chemical processes. Biology majors can utilize our upper-level coursework in biomedical physics to better understand modern medical instrumentation and physical processes within the human body. Pre-med students that complete a physics minor typically have higher acceptance rates into medical school.

Physics Minor

The physics minor requires 18 credit hours in physics coursework, as outlined below. Minimum grade required for each course is “C-“.
