Physics is the study of matter and energy and how they interact. It is often considered to be the foundation of all of the sciences and technology. Physics is closely related to astronomy, engineering, chemistry, geology, mathematics, and biology. Students majoring in physics often pursue graduate degrees. UNCG offers a BA and a BS in Physics which can include teacher certification. For more information, contact Dr. Steve Danford in 101 Petty, or visit the Department online at www.uncg.edu/phy.
