Physics minor
No time is wasted getting you involved in your academic experience.
You can participate in project-based labs and research projects in your first year to obtain a first-hand appreciation of physics beyond textbooks. And it only gets better from there.
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, intended to make the minor in physics especially practical for engineering, physics education, chemistry, and mathematics students.
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.
