Department website: http://www.atu.edu/cmp
The minor in physical sciences is an excellent complement to a variety of majors, offering students a foundational understanding of the principles governing the natural world. This interdisciplinary program typically includes coursework in disciplines such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, and earth sciences, allowing students to explore topics like energy, matter, forces, and the structure of the universe. By developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills, a physical sciences minor prepares students for careers in science, technology, engineering, and education or enhances their qualifications for graduate studies. It’s especially valuable for students pursuing fields like environmental science or education, as it provides a broader scientific perspective and a solid grounding in quantitative reasoning.
