Modern Physics
Physics is the study of matter and energy, allowing students to develop a strong background in how the physical world (heat, sound, mechanics) works. These skills are incredibly valuable in many fields including geology, engineering and medicine. Physics is offered as a minor at UW-Green Bay, and complements majors such as Environmental Science, Human Biology and many other programs.
If you are fascinated by optics, mechanics and magnetism, Physics could be the right minor for you.
Solving Physics Problems
Perhaps the most valuable skills you will sharpen through a minor in Physics are critical thinking and problem solving skills. A clearer understanding of the laws which govern the physical world and a better developed ability to mathematically model systems are secondary benefits.

Meet Heidi Fencl
UW-Green Bay Prof. of Physics Heidi Fen research interests includes gender norms in self-efficacy and problem solving, and how such norms affect the science classroom experience. She is especially interested in how students use example problems for homework, and both homework and classroom strategies that are most productive for developing deeper problem-solving skills. Prof. Fencl is also here to help you!
