At present, this is an excellent choice since the number of undergraduates earning bachelor's degrees in physics is at the lowest point since 1960, the beginning of the space age, and so there are many good openings available to high-quality students.

Because it is so fundamental, physics is required for a basic understanding of all other sciences, and for all technology. Astronomers trying to understand the global structure of the cosmos, or the first few millionths of a second after the big bang, are totally dependent on physical theories about the nature of space, time and matter.

To apply, fill out the physics minor program form, available in Tate 130. Your application will be reviewed and if all requirements are met it will be approved and sent to CLA, where the minor will be added to your record. You will also receive an email notification from the physics department when this occurs so you can monitor the addition of the minor to your record. text/html 2025-04-14T22:48:14+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://zzz.physics.umn.edu/undergrad_program/handbook/core_courses?rev=1744670894&do=diff Core Coursework Admission Requirements Introductory Physics Core Requirements Physics I Credits PHYS 1301W or PHYS 1401V Introductory Physics for Science and Engineering I 4 Physics II Credits PHYS 1302W or PHYS 1402V Introductory Physics for Science and Engineering II text/html 2019-04-11T16:51:44+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://zzz.physics.umn.edu/undergrad_program/handbook/emphases?rev=1555001504&do=diff Additional Programmatic Requirements by Sub-Plan In addition to the core coursework requirements, students must select one of the five sub-plans detailed below and complete the respective requirements. ---------- Professional Physics Sub-Plan text/html 2018-01-25T16:58:24+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://zzz.physics.umn.edu/undergrad_program/handbook/home?rev=1516899504&do=diff Physics Undergraduate Handbook Please report any problems with the wiki to info@physics.umn.edu.
