Overview

University of Minnesota Duluth's (UMD) Bachelor of Arts degree in Physics is a liberal arts degree that allows considerable freedom in the planning of upper level courses and can easily be combined with other majors and interests. The physics courses emphasize conceptual foundations, problem-solving skills, and experimental techniques. Physics is the basic science that underlies all the natural sciences. And it is a search for the basic rules of the behavior of matter and energy on every scale: from the interaction of subatomic particles, to the motion of every day objects, to the evolution of galaxies and the universe itself. Physics consists of many fields, including particle and nuclear physics, atomic and molecular spectroscopy, optics, solid-state physics, biological and medical physics, computational physics, acoustics, astrophysics and cosmology. Active learning environment Access to state-of-the–art instrumentation Focus on undergraduate teaching and research Acquired Skills Comprehension: Students will know and be able to explain the core physics concepts and their mathematical expressions. Application: Students will be able to apply the laws of physics to new situations, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Execution: Students will be able to design, set-up, and carry out an experiment, using models, analytical techniques, or laboratory equipment. Communication: Students will be able to communicate scientific ideas to technical and non-technical audiences. Career Possibilities UMD's diverse Physics program can prepare students for a wide variety of positions and make sure they are highly sought after in modern industries. In fact, this article from CNN shows the unemployment rate among Physics graduates is 0.3%, the lowest of all disciplines. Other opportunities include research and design positions, quality control and product testing, mathematical and computer modeling, and sales of technical equipment. Physicists also play a significant role in medical instrumentation and health care delivery. They are needed to operate a multitude of clinical equipment found in hospitals, or to assist in the diagnosis and treatments of patients using nuclear radiation, x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound techniques.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.

About the Institution

On April 2, 1895 Minnesota Governor David. M. Clough signed legislation approving the creation of the State Normal School at Duluth. Eight years later, in 1903, seven women graduated with teaching degrees. In 1921, the Normal School became the Duluth State Teacher’s College and in 1947, the Teacher's College was named the Duluth Branch of the University of Minnesota. Today, the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) is a mid-sized comprehensive regional university that offers students a supportive atmosphere and access to the resources of the larger University of Minnesota system. UMD’s stellar...
