Description
The Physics minor allows students with a major or interest in natural sciences, mathematics, education and technology to complement their studies and enhance their academic credentials. Non-science majors may find the Physics minor enhances their knowledge of this useful and fascinating field.
Admission Requirements
Admission to a minor is open to students declared in a bachelor’s degree, the A.A.B. or A.A.S. degree or the A.T.S. degree (not Individualized Program major). Students declared only in the A.A. or A.S. degree or the A.T.S. degree in Individualized Program may not declare a minor. Students may not pursue a minor and a major in the same discipline.
