A minor in physics can be of great value to students majoring in many subjects. It can broaden and deepen students' understanding of their major and of the surrounding universe. The physics minor can also increase their options for graduate study and employment, and it can enhance their academic record. This minor will be particularly appealing to students in chemistry, mathematics, and engineering because of course overlaps. Although students majoring in nonscientific or non-technical fields will find the minor more challenging, the physics minor could be of even greater value for such students because of the expanded career opportunities it can offer.
