The law of nature can be used to predict the behavior of the world and all kinds of machinery. Many of the technological inventions of today resulted from discoveries in physics.

A major in physics at St. Mary?s University prepares students with a broad based view of science, as well as the analytical tools necessary to tackle problems in many different fields.

Physics is an intensive course of study that emphasizes analytical and problem solving skills.

Depending on the degree option selected, students will be required to take additional biology, chemistry, math and physics courses. Many Physics majors often double major in other areas such as Electrical Engineering, Engineering Science or Mathematics. With proper planning, a double major can be completed in four years.
