What will I learn?

Physics majors are interested in understanding the nature of the physical universe. This interest may focus on more specific sub-areas, such as the physics of elementary particles the properties of solid matter or the evolution of stars, galaxies, and black holes. A successful physics major will develop analytical and problem-solving skills which will be useful in a wide range of possible applications and careers.A wide range of careers are available for people with physics degrees: academic careers in physics, astronomy, and engineering research science in government laboratories research and development in private industry engineering K-12 teaching quantitative financial analysis for investment firms medical research or practice science journalism. The analytical skills developed in the course of taking a physics curriculum allow physics majors (on average) to have relatively high scores on the LSAT and MCAT admissions tests for law school and medical school.
