Physics
As of the Fall 2023 semester, students cannot declare a minor in Physics. Current students who previously declared a minor in Physics will be advised through their required coursework throughout the 2023-24 and 2024-25 academic years. Once their studies are complete, a Physics minor will no longer be conferred by Converse University.
Anyone with an interest in the interaction between matter and energy can minor in the Physics program at Converse. Converse’s Physics minor is an excellent supplement to not only our science majors but also to our math, computer science, engineering and pre-med majors. Our Physics students acquire problem-solving and technological skills in our traditional liberal arts foundation.

About Physics
Physics is sometimes referred to as the ‘liberal arts of science.’ Physics examines matter and energy, and their interactions. But what does this really mean? Physics is about asking fundamental questions and trying to answer them by observing and experimenting. Rather than focusing on a specific career path, the Converse physics minor helps you develop skills applicable to many careers. As a Physics minor you will learn how to use mathematics to develop solutions to complex problems. These are highly valuable skills in every industry. A minor in physics is especially applicable to jobs in finance, computer science or programming, healthcare, and engineering.
