物理 is the fundamental science. By achieving proficiency in the problem-solving skills that physics requires, you will be prepared for success in any career that rewards critical thinking and unique solutions to complex problems.

The major requirements are flexible. 每一个学生, with the help of his or her advisor, may select the courses that best suit his or her interests and abilities.

While understanding physics is critical to success in engineering and applied sciences, the world is also full of “hidden physicists” — those whose undergraduate training in physics prepared them for success in a diverse array of careers, including finance and science policy, to name just two of the recent “hot fields” for physicists.

In addition to pursuing graduate degrees in physics, graduates have pursued a variety of careers after leaving Carthage with physics degrees.
