Anyone with an interest in the interaction between matter 和 energy can minor in the 物理 program at Converse. 交谈的 物理 minor is an excellent supplement to not only our science 专业 but also to our math, 计算机科学, engineering 和 pre-med 专业. Our 物理 students acquire problem-solving 和 technological skills in our traditional liberal arts foundation.
As of the Fall 2023 semester, students cannot declare a minor in 物理. Current students who previously declared a minor in 物理 will be advised through their required coursework throughout the 2023-24 和 2024-25 academic years.

关于物理
物理 is sometimes referred to as the ‘liberal arts of science.’ 物理 examines matter 和 energy, their interactions. But what does this really mean? 物理 is about asking fundamental questions 和 trying to answer them by observing 和 experimenting. Rather than focusing on a specific career path, the Converse physics minor helps you develop skills applicable to many careers. As a 物理 minor you will learn how to use mathematics to develop solutions to complex problems. These are highly valuable skills in every industry. A minor in physics is especially applicable to jobs in finance, 计算机科学 or programming, 医疗保健, 和工程.
研究
Many aspiring scientists have to wait until graduate school to begin conducting original research. But as a Converse physics minor, you’ll be exposed to 研究的机会 作为一名本科生. Working independently or side-by-side with faculty mentors, our students have won awards at state, 区域, 以及全国性的会议.
旅行
交谈的 study abroad 和 study travel programs allow you to experience a whole new way of living while earning college credit. Brianne Cross Leftwich went to Costa Rica with 物理 professor Elena Méndez to conduct an archeoastronomy 万博下载ios. Working with Professor Méndez, Brianne measured the direction of an ancient road believed to have pointed to a star. This star could have been part of a ritual in the early Costa Rican civilization of the area.
As a 物理 minor, you will study major concepts in 物理. In courses such as The Elements of 物理 和 Essential 物理, you will learn about mechanics, 物质的性质, 热, sound 和 use calculus to derive relationships 和 find solutions to problems.
By studying physics you will gain a high level of critical thinking skills 和 develop a fundamental underst和ing of complex math.
A 物理 minor shows employers you are not afraid of a challenge 和 are good with numbers. Even if you don’t choose a career in science, studying 物理 shows that you are a good problem solver. A 物理 minor will complement most any major you choose at Converse, most especially will enhance your experience as a science major.
What are common careers in 物理?
- 天文学家
- Laboratory: Industrial, governmental, environmental, or forensics
- Education: college, middle school, high school
