Physics
Physics is the study of matter, motion, forces, and energy and the laws that govern them – whether at the scale of atoms or planetary orbits. Skateboards, microwave ovens, cell phones, and puffer jacket insulation all work thanks to physics.
Occupations
Many Physics graduates pursue research opportunities in government, education, and the private sector. Others work in design and development in industries that rely on Physics expertise, from aerospace to telecommunications to air quality management.
