The object of the Physics Minor is to provide a strong physics component to bolster students typically majoring in other STEM areas, such as Chemistry, Mathematics, Cell and Molecular Biology, and the various Engineering fields.  In some cases, students from the Liberal Arts and Social Sciences pursue the Physics Minor to add STEM strength to their degrees.
