Physics Minor

A minor in physics consists of a two course introductory core and at least 10 credits (2.5 courses) of physics courses numbered 200 or higher.  Some upper-level courses emphasize applied areas of physics.  This is intended to make the minor in physics especially practical to students of engineering, physics education, chemistry, and mathematics.  Although either Principles of Physics (151/152) or General Physics (191/192) will satisfy the core requirement for the minor, students satisfying the core requirement with the non-calculus based Principles of Physics (151/152) should realize that calculus is a pre-requisite for some 200 and 300 level courses.  

Students will complete five or six courses as follows:
