Minor
A minor in Physics requires 20 credits in physics courses plus the supporting courses of one year of calculus (Math 240-241). Ten of the required credits in Physics courses are PHYS 201 (or PHYS 107 and 205) and PHYS 202 (or PHYS 108 and 206), The remaining 10 Physics credits must be selected from Physics courses numbered at the 300- or 400- level, except that PHYS 300 and 339 may not be counted. CHEM 345/347 (prerequisite of CHEM 105-106) may be substituted for five of the upper-level credits.
