LaGrange College offers a minor in Physics, which will help prepare students for a career in industry, data analysis, engineering, biomechanics, medicine, and virtually any other field. Physics is all about solving problems, often in a creative way, and this skill is valuable for any vocation. Studying physics trains students to think creatively and approach problems from different perspectives, and it often instills a sense of appreciation in understanding how exquisitely the universe works.  There is also an opportunity to do undergraduate research as a part of Introduction to Modern Physics.
