For teaching at the secondary school level one needs also to complete the education courses necessary for certification. These courses can easily be fitted into a Physics major's program, especially the General Track. The Applied and General tracks are particularly useful in this regard. The undergraduate program of a physics major is frequently taken by individuals planning to apply to medical or dental school. Some medical professions, such as nuclear medicine and health physics, are directly related to physics.
Physics can also be a reasonable preparation for law school.
Patent law, for example, requires a technical background. Few individuals with bachelor's or advanced degrees in physics are unemployed or seriously underemployed. A physics education provides a broad background of fundamental principles and develops skills in solving complex problems, enabling effective contribution in many kinds of traditional and novel activities. Material relating to job opportunities and graduate schools is kept up to date by the senior adviser. The Minor To satisfy the requirements for a minor in physics the student must complete 15 credits at the 200 level or above.
