Physics, Minor

Program

A solid understanding of physics complements many different majors. Students who are committed to majoring in another discipline have the option of minoring in physics. At W&M, requirements for a physics minor are relatively flexible: three courses to cover the basics, then you get to choose three elective courses to either focus or broaden your degree.
