Physics education is a program designed to prepare effective high school physics teachers. Physics utilizes analytical problem solving skills cultivated through the study of physics and mathematics to describe theoretically the fundamental principles of the universe. A degree in physics education will prepare a student to be a secondary (7th - 12th grades) physics teacher, an area with high demand.
