Physics minors may count Civitae Core courses satisfying minor requirements as also satisfying their respective Civitae Core requirements, up to two Pillar courses and one Perspectives course. 

Courses satisfying minor requirements that are designated as Civitae Core courses subsequent to the print deadline of this Catalog will not appear in the above listings but will be eligible to also satisfy Civitae Core requirements, subject to the same rules as the other.

Students interested in pursuing a physics minor should contact the Area Coordinator of the physics program. No grade below C- is acceptable in minor courses.

8 credits of general physics from the following:

12 credits of advanced physics or chemistry courses from the following:


NOTE: MATH 261  or MATH 262  are required in most of these courses.  Students taking PHYS 220  and 221  for the general physics requirement are strongly encouraged to take PHYS 222  and 223  for lab experience since there is no lab component to the PHYS 220 /221  sequence.
