Physics is a fundamental Science.
The core topics of physics include: mechanics (motion, forces, and energy); thermodynamics, sound, and light; electricity and magnetism; relativity and quantum mechanics. The modern areas of physics research are: astrophysics and general relativity; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; biophysics; condensed matter physics (e.g. magnetism, semiconductors, superconductors); nuclear physics; particle physics; and plasma physics.
The UNF B.S. physics programs focus on preparing graduates for employment in a wide array of technical and non-technical fields. Traditional physics majors are encouraged to consider enhancing their major with a minor in complementary applied fields, such as electrical engineering, computer science, or business.
Other students may want to pursue one of the engineering physics tracks. Some students may choose to obtain physics secondary teaching credentials. Graduates may also decide to continue their studies in graduate school or in a professional school.
