<p>I'm aiming for a PhD in physics, but I want the chance to explore something else on the way there.</p>
<p>At the same time, I do want something STEM-related (engineering, perhaps.) I don't really want to go into Liberal Arts, because I want to gain some more experience in physics and math. So what should I major in? Should I just stick with Physics through 10-ish years of college and university and maybe minor in something else, or should I take something like mathematics or chemistry and switch to physics for grad school?</p>
<p>Might seem like an odd question, or an obvious one, but I'm new to this.</p>
<p>well im into astrophysics and ill definitely take up physics as my BS. i guess you should stick to it too. you can take minors like math(i recommend it) or even music(i like it). anyway its your life your way.</p>
<p>A bachelor’s degree in physics will be the best preparation for entering a PhD program in physics, but you should have the schedule space to take courses, a minor, or even a second major in some other subject like math, computer science, statistics, or economics.</p>
<p>Note that additional math like real analysis, complex analysis, and abstract algebra / group theory is often recommended for physics majors.</p>
