Physics degrees are aimed at graduate work, and minors are rare in my experience Isaac Send a noteboard - 12/01/2011 03:08:49 PM
And I say 'rare' because I've never met anyone who graduated with a minor in physics, at my old school a minor just meant all the basic math and intro phy a comp Sci major has to take or math or chem major too plus 1 physics course and 1 lab, classical mechanics, which has little to do with computers. I doubt a minor in physics would hurt your job prospects but its really gonna depend on what field of CS you're looking at.

I don't understand why you would major in physics when you know you want to work in CS. Sareitha Sedai - 12/01/2011 01:56:48 PM 446 Views
Don't bother with physics, it's a waste of time for what you want to do. Macharius - 12/01/2011 02:09:30 PM 444 Views

Clearly I wasn't paying close enough attention. Joel - 12/01/2011 05:59:42 PM 376 Views
Honestly, CS (major) and Math is a better option. jh - 12/01/2011 07:07:59 PM 427 Views

How many physics majors do we have here not working in the field of physics? At least four. everynametaken - 13/01/2011 01:47:27 AM 395 Views
