Minors

One way to enhance your college resume is to add a minor. Our department offers four:

• physics 
• applied physics with a concentration in either electronics or nanoscience
• astronomy (Name will change to Astrophysics beginning Fall Semester 2010.)
• introductory astronomy (Courses available now. The minor will become available in Fall Semester 2010.)

These minors are open to anyone with an interest in the fields of physics, astrophysics, or astronomy. Our physics minors are suited for music technology majors or anyone who would like to work in the fields of physics, chemistry, geology, professional meteorology, or computer science. Our astrophysics minor pairs well with our physics major, especially if you would like to pursue graduate studies in astronomy, or with minors in chemistry, computer science, or mathematics. The introductory astronomy minor is a good choice for K-12 science teachers or persons interested in working in planetariums or science museums.
