The contemporary world of business and industry is increasingly dependent on scientific and technical knowledge. The business-physics co-major is designed for students who wish to enter the business or industrial world with a strong technical background. The program is also flexible enough to accommodate individual career objectives. Electives are chosen in consultation with advisors from the School of Business and the Physics and Engineering Departments.

Requirements for the Major

1.

Business-physics majors are required to maintain a 2.0 GPA in upper division physics courses and a 2.5 GPA in all business courses.

2.

All business-physics majors must take the Capstone Experience (BA 499 or PH 499 ). Students must consult their department advisors to determine the exact nature of the capstone experience.
