Probably not worth taking an extra 1/2 year if it incurs a significant additional debt. You are already doing both CS and Biology so adding the Physics certificate is quite a lot. That being said, having a solid background in physics is a plus for a CS major. We have had several recent graduates with a physics degree at [Illinois Institute of Technology](http://www.iit.edu) and at least a minor in Computer Science and they have easily found jobs.
