The minor in physics incorporates study of all the major areas of contemporary physics, and equips you with the rudiments of the physicist’s perspective.
Either the algebra- or calculus-based introductory sequence may be used in partial fulfillment of the minor requirements.

Declaring a Minor
Shenandoah students work with their Academic Advisor to declare a minor. Academic Advisors will continue to work with students to ensure that they fulfill all of the requirements to complete the minor.
Incoming students should not indicate their intended minor on their Shenandoah application. Applications are for intended majors only.
