Where do you want your degree to take you?

The Physics major is more versatile than you might think. This blog aims to show you the full range of opportunities available to you as you consider your post-graduation plans. But beware: simply passing your classes is not enough to guarantee success. There are a number of qualifications you need to be a competitive graduate school or job candidate.  Take the time to learn about what you want you think you want to do. Learn what it takes to get there as soon as you can. We are here to help every step of the way.
