Career Information:
An area of concentration in physics concerns the scientific study of matter and energy. Physicists use mathematics and the basic laws of nature to understand, explain, and predict their theories. They often apply their theories to other fields, including chemistry, biology, engineering, communication, transportation, electronics, and health. It will also provide the necessary knowledge to pursue an advanced degree, if desired. Physics students may find careers in museums, government, education, construction, research, utilities, engineering, and electronics.
