Why study physics?
Studying physics prepares you to perform scientific reasoning and complex problem-solving.
You’ll master the analytical skills needed to take on technical problems in physics, and you’ll have the ability to translate what you know to others, thanks to your sharp communication skills. That could be your launchpad for a career as an automotive engineer, environmental compliance inspector, web developer, high school teacher, regulatory affairs specialist, astrophysicist or any of a number of physics-related jobs.
