Minor in Physics
Physics is the study of an enormous span of natural phenomena ranging from the large scale involvement of galaxies to the submicroscopic motion of atoms and nuclei.
The law of nature can be used to predict the behavior of the world and all kinds of machinery. Many of the technological inventions of today resulted from discoveries in physics. The physics major will prepare students for graduate school or working in industry.
A major in physics at St. Mary’s prepares students with a broad based view of science, as well as the analytical tools necessary to tackle problems in many different fields.
