Build some momentum for your future.

What you’ll learn

In studying physics, you experience and appreciate the continual evolution of humanity's (and your own!) insights about physical phenomena.

Transfer Interest Area

Physics is the study of matter and motion in its most fundamental forms. For this reason, physics is studied by majors in all sciences for breadth of understanding, by professional-technical students for deeper understanding of technology, by humanities students for insight into ways of thinking deeply embedded in human civilization, and by people generally to gain enjoyment and scientific literacy in a world deeply impacted by science.
