dents, this major allows business stu
dents to link principles taught in class
with that of the real world, making it
a beneficial addition to the School of
Business. “There will be an increase
in service-sector jobs in the coming
decade, so the focus of this new ma
jor will be marketing in a service
economy.” said Andaleeb.
Two divisions will be inluded in
the physics major; general physics
and computational physics. Dr. Bill
Baxter, associate professor of phys
ics noted, “After consideration of
where many of our physics majors
were going with their careers, we
determined that an option in applied
physics would be helpful to them.”
This option would be advantageous
to physic majors entering the field
after graduation. “These two options
will continue tos hare basic cor
courses, but the computational phys
ics option will require more hands
on computer and electronics experi
ence” said Baxter
