Physics is the study of the natural world, from its most fundamental to its most extreme. It is a basic foundation science upon whose principles all other sciences and technologies are based. From subatomic particles to the universe itself, physicists study matter, energy, and space and time. They probe the laws and forces of nature and search for symmetries, patterns, and properties that define the workings of the universe. Specialization tracks available: Astrophysics, Biophysics, Computational Physics, Continuum Physics and Acoustics, Environmental Physics, Materials Physics, Nanotechnology, Optics and Electronics, Physics Teaching. What you can do with a degree in physics and astronomy: Alternative energy science and energy exploration, Medical profession, imaging, and diagnosis, Sports technologies, biophysics/engineering, Architecture, civil engineering, materials science, Education, forensics/law enforcement, Computer technologies and applications, Special effects, sound engineering, design, Science journalism, technical writing, Astronomy, aerospace technology, Capital investment, insurance, computational economics, Intellectual property law, patents, policy development, Nanotechnology, computer engineering, Manufacturing quality control, invention, entrepreneurship, Environmental science/engineering, oceanography, Meteorology, chaotic systems, cryptography. Skills you can market with a degree in physics and astronomy: Problem-solving and analytical skills, Quick understanding of complex problems, Ability to model complex systems, Understanding of how objects move and the forces involved, Ability to organize, analyze, and interpret scientific data, Mathematical and computer skills, Critical reasoning and logical-thinking skills, Determination, focus, curiosity.
