Physics majors study the nature of matter and energy, from subatomic particles to the far reaches of the universe. They learn how an understanding of physics forms the basis for explaining many phenomena in other natural sciences. Physics also underlies many developments in technology including lasers, transistors, magnetic resonance imaging, and even the World Wide Web. Careers for students with physics degrees can be in physics itself (if they pursue a graduate degree), or in a range of other areas including astronomy, computers, engineering, patent law, medicine, science writing or reporting, and teaching.
