Multidisciplinary Concentration
The multidisciplinary concentration is designed to provide a solid foundation in physics for students whose interests extend beyond traditional physics fields. The four tracks of business, technical and scientific communication, biophysics, and secondary education open doors to the pursuit of graduate degrees in law, the medical sciences, business and education, and other career paths requiring a technical background. Also, the concentrations in business and technical and scientific communication concentrations are excellent preparation for jobs in industry.
The following are also required for all tracks in the multidisciplinary concentration:
Two credits from the following: 2 Credit Hours
Secondary Education Track
Students must be fully admitted into pre-professional teacher education prior to enrolling in these courses:
