Why a Physics Degree?:
Physics research has resulted in remarkable technological advances in medicine, communication, computers, transportation, energy, and so many other fields. Physicists have harnessed nuclear energy, discovered superconductivity, invented the laser, and produced the world-wide web. Beyond research, a physics degree provides great training for problem-solving, useful in many different careers.
