Students also explore interests beyond the classroom through avenues such as independent study and the honors program. Through the honors program and independent study, students can explore interests outside the classroom and propose their own research projects. The student physics club, officially the Society of Physics Students, plans activities for each term. In recent years, the group has produced a laser and light show, organized an egg-drop contest, planned picnics and special trips, and tutored students in Physics. After Graduation Graduates from Westminster s Physics program attest to Westminster s claim of excellence and versatility.
Most students go directly into business and industrial careers.
For many, their job titles are engineer though they majored in Physics. The physics department is proud of the success its graduates have achieved in graduate schools across the country. Another increasingly popular career option open to Physics majors is certification as a high school teacher. Students may complete all requirements for the major as well as all education courses and student teaching in four years. Because Physics stresses broad foundations and not narrow specializations, it opens up careers in many fields.
