2014 Major: Physics

How has being a Physics graduate from Duke helped shape you personally and/or professionally?

"Being a physics major taught me how to think from first principles and shaped my approach to problem solving. It also gave me an incredibly strong foundation that has helped me branch out in whichever directions I have wanted to."

What advice would you give students in Duke's Physics programs? 

"Be comfortable thinking outside the box in terms of what you do with your degree. A physics major is an incredible foundation, and it can open many more doors than you may traditionally think."
